Observations on degradation performance are often used to analyze the underlying
degradation process of highly reliable products. From the two-phase degradation path of the …

The characteristic of dependence widely exists among different failure modes of systems,
which brings extra difficulty for the reliability analysis. In this paper, a nonparametric …

The inverted Dirichlet distribution has been widely used in a variety of applications involving
multivariate categorical data. However, censoring issues leading to implicit forms of …

Marshall–Olkin bivariate exponential distribution is used to statistically infer the adaptive
type II progressive hybrid censored data under dependent competition risk model. For …

Data obtained from destructive one-shot devices are usually studied through a binary
response variable indicating failure or success of the device. But, in many practical …

Intermittent working system (IWS) refers to the system which alternates between working
state and storage state. Different from continuous working system, a considerable part of …

A one-shot device, like an automobile airbag, is a product or an equipment that can be used
only once. Better quality and longer lifetime of one-shot devices nowadays increase the cost …

In this paper, a competing risks model based on a generalized progressive hybrid censoring
is considered. When the latent lifetime distributions of failure causes are exponential …

This paper considers simple step-stress accelerated life tests (SSALTs) for one-shot devices.
The one-shot device is an item that cannot be used again after the test, for instance …

Optimal designs of constant-stress accelerated life test plans is one of the important topics in
reliability studies. Many devices produced have very high reliability under normal operating …
