Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to design an optimal reliability acceptance sampling plan (RASP) using the Type-I generalized hybrid censoring scheme (GHCS) for non-repairable products sold under the general rebate warranty. A cost function approach is proposed for products having Weibull...

Purpose: This article considers Inverse Gaussian distribution as the basic lifetime model for the test units. The unknown model parameters are estimated using the method of moments, the method of maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods. As part of maximum likelihood analysis, this article...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to compare various methods of estimation of P ( X Y ) based on Type-II censored data, where X and Y represent a quality characteristic of interest for two groups. Design/methodology/approach This paper assumes that both X and Y are independently distributed...
