Some binary start-up demonstration tests and associated inferential methods

During the past few decades, substantial research has been carried out on start-up demonstration tests. In this paper, we study the class of binary start-up demonstration tests under a general framework. Assuming that the outcomes of the start-up tests are described by a sequence of exchangeable random variables, we develop a general form for the exact waiting time distribution associated with the length of the test (i.e., number of start-ups …
