Abstract

Abstract: This article describes Bayes design of hybrid‐censored life testing plans. A design criterion based on posterior variance of quantile of suitable order is proposed. The Weibull lifetime model with gamma prior distribution on model parameters is considered for illustration. Instead of using Markov chain Monte Carlo technique to compute the posterior quantities of interest, a large sample approximation is considered, which is easy to apply. Some life testing plans are presented. The effect of different prior information on the posterior quantity of interest is studied.
