Selecting the best one of several meifull populations

Abstract

Consider k(k ≥ 2) two-parameter Meibull populations. Using type II censored data we want to select a best population. Me have proposed procedures which can be used for maximum likelihood estimators or simplified linear estimators of Che unknown parameters. The ranking of the populations is done by comparing their reliabilities at certain fixed time or by comparing their 2-eh quantiles. In selected cases, the constants needed for the procedures are tabulated using Monte Carlo methods.
