Abstract:

The study is concerned with the problem of adaptively determining the surveillance observation epochs for the purpose of estimating the parameters of a life distribution under attribute life testing. A discrete adaptive procedure is developed and proved to be epsilon-optimal under the criterion of maximizing the Fisher information function. Author
