Inference for the Exponential Life Distribution.

Abstract

This paper constitutes Chapter 1 of a book on 'Inference and Data Analysis for Reliability and Life Testing.' The purpose is to provide an elementary coherent Bayesian foundation for research in statistical reliability theory. The results in Section 3 and the Appendix concerning the role of failures and total time on test in statistical inference for the exponential model is new. (Author)
