Linear Invariant Prediction of Order Statistics in Location and Scale Families

Abstract

Identical items are simultaneously subjected to stress and operate independently until failure. The authors observe the early failures and use the times of these failure to predict the times of later failures in the same sample. Best linear invariant predictors are derived for location-scale families of failure time distributions, and two simplified predictors are developed. The relative behavior of the predictors is indicated in a table.
