A simple, unbiased estimator, based on a censored sample, has been proposed by Bain [1] for the scale parameter of the Extreme-value distribution. This estimator was shown to have high efficiency and ...

Assume that a (possibly censored) sample is available from a population having a Weibull or extreme value distribution, and that a single future observation is to be obtained from the same population.

An industry expert discusses use of the Weibull distribution for life testing electromechanical relays. Life tests for electro-mechanical relays can be set up using relatively small sample sizes, ...
