摘要
The purpose of this chapter is to propose two types of progressive hybrid censoring schemes in life-testing experiments and develop exact inference for the mean of the exponential distribution. The exact distribution of the maximum likelihood estimator and an exact lower confidence bound for the mean lifetime are obtained under both types of progressive hybrid censoring schemes. Illustrative examples are finally presented.
