Abstract

Life testing experiments differ from most experiments in a number of ways. Instead of assuming a normal distribution for the response, we often assume a distribution such as the exponential or Weibull. Also, censoring, the termination of a life test before all units have failed, is common in life testing experiments. We investigate algorithms to obtain optimal, or near-optimal designs for multifactor experiments assuming an exponential distribution for the lifetimes.
