We provide simple computational formulas of both expected termination time and Fisher information of the flexible progressive censoring scheme proposed by Bairamov and Parsi (2011). Then, the design and planning of the flexible progressive censoring schemes are discussed with illustrative examples.

In this paper, we consider the missing information in determining the optimal allocation of removals in a Type II progressive censoring scheme. We provide a simple expression and a recurrence relation for the missing information. Then we provide a simple way of determining an optimal censoring...
