Full coverage of statistical techniques for developing andimplementing precedence-type tests
Precedence-Type Tests and Applications provides a comprehensiveoverview of theoretical and applied approaches to a variety ofproblems in which precedence-type test procedures can be used. Theauthors clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of these tests inlife-testing situations designed for making quick and reliabledecisions in the early stages of an experiment. Most of the text'sexamples use life-time data; however, theoretical properties arealso discussed in the context of precedence testing. Monte Carlostudies are used to illustrate important results.
Following the authors' careful step-by-step instructions andguidance, readers master the wide range of statistical techniquesinvolved in the development and implementation of precedence-typetests. The book covers the foundations of precedence testingresearch from the early 1960s up to the most recent theory andapplications, including the authors' current contributions to thefield. The book features the following parts:
Tables are presented throughout the book to facilitate theapplication of the tests to practical problems. Helpful examplesillustrate all of the precedence-type procedures, and an extensivebibliography enables readers to explore specialized topics ingreater depth.
This book is a recommended reference for researchers andpractitioners in reliability and life-time data analysis, appliedprobabilists, and engineers. It also serves as a supplemental textfor courses in nonparametric statistics and reliability.
