Abstract | ||||
This paper discusses the problem of predicting, on the basis of an incomplete sample from a two parameter Pareto distribution, the life time of the j-th item to fail either in the same sample or in a future sample from the same distribution. Prediction intervals are based on doubly censored data when lifetimes are left and right censored, of which complete sampling and Type II censoring are special cases, as well as the case when an extra observation is missing elsewhere. | ||||
