Abstract

Abstract

In this paper, considering series system of masked data under simple successive censored and multiple successive censored life test, the likelihood function and maximum likelihood estimate are respectively proposed for series system composed of two units under two kinds of situations. One is the series system composed of two units with constant failure rate, and the other is the series system composed of two units with linear failure rate through the origin. The approximate interval estimates of parameters are given by using the method of likelihood ratio. Besides, the examples show the feasibility of the methods through Monte-Carlo simulations.
