摘要：This paper deals with estimating the lifetime performance index. The maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian estimators for lifetime performance index CLX where LX is the lower specification limit are derived based on progressive type-II censored (Prog-Type-II-C) sample from two-parameter power hazard function distribution (PHFD). Knowing the lower specification limit, the MLE of CLX is applied to construct a new hypothesis testing procedure. Bayesian estimator of CLX is also utilized to develop a credible interval. Also, the relationship between the CLX and the conforming rate of products is investigated. Moreover, the Bayesian test to evaluate the lifetime performance of units is proposed. A simulation study and illustrative example based on a real dataset are discussed to evaluate the performance of the two tests.
