BAYESIAN ANALYSIS OF A CONSTANT-STRESS ACCELERATED LIFE TESTING WITH THERMAL AGING LIFE MODEL UNDER GENERAL PROGRESSIVE TYPE-II CENSORED DATA

ABSTRACT
This paper discusses the parameter estimation by Bayesian method when the thermal aging lifetime follows the log-normal distribution and the sample is a general progressive type-II censoring from a constant-stress accelerated life test. The Bayes estimates cannot be obtained in an inexplicit form, and an approximate one is solved by the hybrid Markov chain Monte-Carlo method. The thermal aging life data are presented to illustrate proposed method.
