Abstract: | This paper is concerned with classifying k Weibull populations by their reliabilities with respect to a control population. He have proposed procedures which can be used for maximum likelihood estimators or simplified linear estimators of the parameters. Estimators are based on type II censored data. The cases considered include unknown shape parameters being equal or unequal. In selected cases, the constants needed for the procedures are tabulated using Monte Carlo methods. |
