Title : Reliability Estimation in Exponential Samples
This is a study on unbiased estimation of the reliability R(t) = exp(-t
/ lambda) based on a random sample of size n from an exponential population
with unknown mean lambda where t ( > 0 ) is given. We focus on unbiased
estimation of R(t) based on
(i) Complete Sample, (ii) Failure-Truncated Sample, (iii)
Time-truncated Sample.
Time permitting, we also discuss about the problem of Prediction of
Future Observation(s) Based on Exponential Samples.
