Abstract
A procedure is given for obtaining a random width confidence interval for the largest reliability of k Weibull populations. The procedure does not identify the populations for which the reliability would be a maximum. The maximum likelihood estimators or the simplified linear estimators of the reliability based on type II censored data are used. The cases considered include unknown shape parameters being equal or unequal. Simultaneous confidence intervals for the k reliabilities are also obtained. Tables for the lower and upper limits in selected cases are constructed using Monte Carlo methods.
