Stochastic quantile-filling augmentation algorithm to censored and accurate reliability data

During the operating lifetime of products, an inspection strategy is discussed to get both censored data and some accurate data embedded in censoring intervals here. To obtain the parameter estimates of lifetime model, an iterative single-point imputation (SPI) algorithm is proposed under stochastic quantile probabilities, called stochastic quantile-filling augmentation (SQFA). By the algorithm, stochastic conditional quantiles are imputed as …
