A Life Test Procedure with Right Censored Data Based on the Wald–Wolfowitz Run Test.

One of the most common types of acceleration of tests, along with high usage rate, overstress, degradation and specimen design (Nelson, W. (1990). Accelerated Testing. New York: Wiley & Sons) is right censoring, which occurs when tests are terminated before all specimens placed on test run to failure. In this article, a test procedure in sequential setting based on the Wald-Wolfowitz (Wald, A., Wolfowitz, J. (1940). On a test whether two samples are from the same population. The Annals of Mathematical Statistics 11:147-162) run test with possibly right censored data is discussed. Simulation results are also included. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
