Cohen (1991) was one of the earliest to study a more general censoring scheme called progressive censoring scheme. The progressive Type-II censoring scheme, after starting the life-testing experiment with ....[To continue please click here] LA eng UL http://jsri.srtc.ac.ir/article-1-122-en.html M3 10.18869/acadpub.jsri.5.1.33 ER -
