The Art of Progressive Censoring Applications to Reliability and Quality

The Art of Progressive Censoring Applications to Reliability and Quality / by N. Balakrishnan, Erhard Cramer.

This monograph offers a thorough and updated guide to the theory and methods of progressive censoring, an area that has experienced tremendous growth in recent years. Progressive censoring, originally proposed in the 1950s, is an efficient method of handling samples from industrial experiments invol...
