Asymptotic Theory of Total Time on Test Processes, with Applications to Life Testing.

Abstract

The concept of interval failure rate is introduced and estimators based on the total time on test process are studied. The interval failure rate estimators for nonoverlapping intervals are asymptotically normal and, surprisingly, independent. A directional multivariate version of the univariate failure rate is defined and its properties are investigated. Multivariate total time on test processes are also defined. (Author)
