Recently, progressive hybrid censoring schemes have become quite popular in life-testing and reliability studies. In this paper, we investigate the maximum likelihood estimation and Bayesian estimation for a two-parameter Weibull distribution based on adaptive Type-I progressively hybrid...

Through a systematic application of the recursion of Huffer [Huffer, F., 1988. Divided differences and the joint distribution of linear combinations of spacings. Journal of Applied Probability 25, 346-354], we present an algorithm for evaluating the exact null distribution of the test statistic...

In this paper, we make use of an algorithm of Huffer & Lin (2001) in order to develop exact prediction intervals for failure times from one-parameter and two- parameter exponential distributions based on doubly Type-II censored samples. We show that this method yields the same results as those...

A bandit problem consisting of a sequence of n choices (n→∞) from a number of infinitely many Bernoulli arms is considered. The parameters of Bernoulli arms are independent and identically distributed random variables from a common distribution F on the interval [0,1] and F is continuous...
