Parameter Estimation in Reliability and Life Span Models
by A Clifford Cohen and Betty Jones Whitten
Published 13 September 1988
Offers an applications-oriented treatment of parameter estimation from both complete and censored samples; contains notations, simplified formats for estimates, graphical techniques, and numerous tables and charts allowing users to calculate estimates and analyze sample data quickly and easily. Furnishing numerous practical examples, this resource serves as a handy reference for statisticians, biometricians, medical researchers, operations research and quality control practitioners, reliability and design engineers, and all others involved in the analysis of sample data from skewed distributions, as well as a text for senior undergraduate and graduate students in statistics, quality control, operations research, mathematics and biometry courses.
This book deals with the development of methodology for the analysis of truncated and censored sample data. It is primarily intended as a handbook for practitioners who need simple and efficient methods for the analysis of incomplete sample data.
