Accelerated life testing or partially accelerated life testing is generally used in manufacturing industries since it affords significant minimization in the cost and test time. In this paper, a step-stress partially accelerated life test under progressive type-II censoring with...

Compounding a continuous lifetime distribution with a discrete one is a useful technique for constructing flexible distributions to facilitate better modeling of lifetime data. In this paper, a new family of lifetime distributions, called the generalized inverse Weibull power ser...

In statistical literature, several distributions are used to model lifetime data. But many –if not most– of these distributions lack of certain lifetime context motivation. Recently, attempts have been made to define new families of probability distributions that extended well kn...

The adaptive type-II progressive hybrid censoring has the advantage of saving both the total test time and the cost of the experiment; also it increases the efficiency of the statistical analysis. This article discusses k-level step stress accelerated life tests based on an adapt...

The estimation of stress-strength reliability function based on record values has attracted the attention of authors because of its important role in industrial tests, where in some situations not all observations are considered in the study but only observations which are more e...

In this paper, we introduce a new model called the Type II half logistic Rayleigh (TIIHLR) with U-shaped, increasing and decreasing hazard rate function. Some structural properties of the current distribution are derived including; explicit expressions for moments, incomplete mom...
