Description

This new book offers a thorough guide to the theory and methods of progressive censoring for practitioners and professionals in applied statistics, quality control, life testing and reliability testing. In many industrial experiments involving lifetimes of machines or units, experiments have to be terminated early due to a variety of circumstances. Samples that arise from such experiments are called censored samples, and a new, efficient alternative method is referred to as "progressive censoring" (where the removal of live units at time of failure is employed). Progressive Censoring first introduces progressive sampling foundations, then discusses various properties of progressive samples. It also describes how to make exact or approximate inferences for the different statistical models with samples based on progressive censoring schemes. With many concrete examples, the book points out the greater efficiency gained by using this scheme instead of classical right-censoring methods.
