A double sampling plan based on truncated life tests is proposed and designed under a general life distribution. The design parameters such as sample sizes and acceptance numbers for the first and the second samples are determined so as to minimize the average sample number subject to satisfying...

In recent times, the problem of prediction of properties of a steel strip has attracted enormous attention from different communities such as statistics, data mining, soft computing, and engineering. This is due to the prospective benefits of reduction in testing and inventory cost, increase in...

The power function distribution is often used to study the electrical component reliability. In this paper, we model a heterogeneous population using the two-component mixture of the power function distribution. A comprehensive simulation scheme including a large number of parameter points is...
