Censored sampling arises in a life testing experiment whenever the experimenter does not observe the failure times of all items placed on a life test. Progressive censoring scheme is useful in both industrial life testing applications and clinical settings; it allows the removal of surviving experimental units before the termination of the test. In this book, we obtain the maximum likelihood, and Bayes estimations for the parameter of the Burr-X model as well as the binomial parameter, based on progressive first-failure censoring with binomial removals. Bayes estimators under symmetric and...

In many life testing and reliability studies, complete information on the failure times of all the experimental units may not be obtained for various reasons. Hence, censoring is very common in life testing experiments. Sometimes the experiments could not be under control completely because units may break accidentally. However, type I and type II censoring schemes do not allow for units to be removed from the test during the life testing duration. There are many cases in life testing experiments in which units are lost or removed from the test before failure. Progressive censoring is useful...
