Practitioners and statisticians are often faced with incomplete or censored data. In life
testing, censored samples are present whenever the experimenter does not observe the …

Step-stress models form an essential part of accelerated life testing procedures. Under a
step-stress model, the test units are exposed to stress levels that increase at intermediate …

In this paper, we mainly consider the inference of a simple step-stress model based on a
complete sample, when the stress changes after a prefixed number of failures. It is assumed …

Analysis of Step-Stress Models: Existing Results and Some Recent Developments
describes, in detail, the step-stress models and related topics that have received significant …

Based on multiply Type-II censored samples of sequential order statistics, Bayesian
estimators are derived for the parameters of one-and two-parameter exponential …

In this paper, the problem of predicting the future sequential order statistics based on
observed multiply Type-II censored samples of sequential order statistics from one-and two …

In the model of sequential order statistics, prior distributions are considered for the model
parameters, which, for example, describe increasing load put on remaining components …

A multi-sample model for general step-stress experiments based on sequential order
statistics is proposed and analyzed, where the numbers of observations under each stress …

Sequential order statistics have been introduced to model effects of component failures on
the reliability of k‐out‐of‐n systems. Aside from this interpretation, they are related to several …

As a specific proportional hazard rates model, sequential order statistics can be used to
describe the lifetimes of load-sharing systems. Inference for these systems needs to account …
