Theory System Reliability Demonstration and Burn-in Design
Abstract
Research accomplishments were registered in three areas. The first is lifetime estimation with truncated data. Maximum likelihood estimators and their asymptotic properties were studied. A Monte Carlo comparison of several estimators was performed when only in terval data on lifetimes is available. The second area is under what conditions a 'burn-in' was developed and tested using sequential estimation. Thirdly, distributions other than Poisson were tried, and it was found that in some cases a binomial approximation provides a more robust testing scheme for series systems with aging components.
