Accelerated Life Testing Data Analyses for One-Shot Devices

One-shot device testing data arises from devices that can be used only once, for example, fire extinguishers, electro-explosive devices, and airbags in cars. In life tests, only the conditions of the tested devices at a specified time can be observed, instead of their actual lifetimes. Such data is therefore of either left- or right-censored. For these heavily censored data, there is an increasing need to develop innovative techniques for …
