A Two Sample Test Of The Reliability Performance Of Equipment Components, Miki Lynne Coleman May 1972

A Two Sample Test Of The Reliability Performance Of Equipment Components, Miki Lynne Coleman

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The purpose of this study was to develop a test which can be used to compare the reliability performances of two types of equipment components to determine whether or not the new component satisfies a given feasibility criterion.

Two types of tests were presented and compared: the fixed sample size test and the truncated sequential probability ratio test. Both of these tests involve use of a statistic which is approximately distributed as F.

This study showed that the truncated sequential probability ratio test has good potential as a means of comparing two component types to see whether or not the …
