Selection and Ranking Procedures in Reliability Models.
Abstract
Several procedures appropriate for selecting the best from K < or = 2) life length distributions are discussed. The selection problem is considered under the classical formulation using both the indifference zone and subset selection approaches, but mostly the latter. Under parametric models, procedures are described for selection from gamma, Weibull, and exponential (one-and two-parameter) distributions. Nonparametric procedures and distribution-free procedures are discussed for selection in terms of a specified quantile and reliability at an arbitrarily chosen point in time, respectively. Procedures for selection from restricted families are discussed with special reference to IFR and IFRA families. The procedures described in various cases mentioned above illustrate several modifications and generalizations of the basic goal. (Author)
