A very flexible hybrid censoring scheme and its Fisher information

Various hybrid censoring schemes, which are mixtures of Type I and Type II censoring schemes, have been suggested for flexibility in termination time and efficiency level. In this paper, we propose a general hybrid censoring scheme to be a censoring scheme with Type I or Type II bounds which provides more flexible termination time and efficiency level. The Type I hybrid censoring scheme can be interpreted as a Type I censoring scheme with a …
