Statistical Modeling and Robust Inference for One-Shot Devices

by Narayanaswamy Balakrishnan and Elena Castilla

The study of one-shot devices such as automobile airbags, fire extinguishers, or antigen tests, is rapidly becoming an important problem in the area of reliability engineering. These devices, which are destroyed or must be rebuilt after use, are a particular case of extreme censoring, which makes the problem of estimating their reliability and lifetime challenging. However, classical statistical and inferential methods do not consider the issue...
