Interval Estimation after Sequential Testing for the Mean of the Exponential Distribution in the Large Sample Case.

Abstract

Let m items be put on test at the outset, and suppose an item is not replaced upon failure. Assume an exponential failure distribution F sub Theta (t) = 1 - exp(-t/Theta). A time truncated sequential procedure for testing H0: Theta > or = Theta 0 versus H1: Theta < or = Theta 1 is developed. This procedure allows a quick rejection of HO when H1 is true, but provides an accurate interval estimate of Theta when HO is accepted after the test has been established. (Author)
