Chapter 5 Inference for exponentially distributed lifetimes

In this chapter, the cases of scaled exponential and two-parameter exponential distributions are taken up, wherein exact inferential results become possible. First, the results for the case of Type-I hybrid censoring are developed in detail. Next, the corresponding results for the case of Type-II hybrid censoring are presented. Finally, extensions of these results to the cases of generalized hybrid and unified hybrid censoring cases are …
