Progressive Censoring Methodology

Progressive censoring has received great attention in the last decades especially in life testing and reliability. This review highlights fundamental applications, related models, and probabilistic and inferential results for progressively censored data. Based on the fundamental models of progressive type I and type II censoring, we present related models like adaptive and hybrid censoring as well as, e.g., stress-strength and competing risk models for progressively censored data. Focusing on exponentially and Weibull distributed lifetimes, an extensive bibliography emphasizing recent developments is provided.
