Abstract

Estimation of the parameters and other reliability characteristics based on complete sample leads to excess wastage of cost and time. Whenever the high cost products are under study, it is better to use number of failure-censored samples (Type II censored). Following the concept, the purpose of the present study is to highlight an alternative easier method of construction of structure function of complex systems and evaluation. Further, the estimation of the involved parameter and different reliability characteristics with type II censored sampling has been carried out.
