• Resumen

  • An acceptance/rejection rule suitable for use in start-up demonstration tests is discussed. The rule allows acceptance of equipment if k consecutive successes occur, while the equipment is rejected if two failures separated by at most r – 2 successes are observed. General formulas and analytic expressions are provided for the probability mass function, the mean, and the variance of the number of start-ups during testing. In addition, the distribution of the number of start-ups is also determined. Three inferential procedures for the estimation of the unknown successful start-up probability are considered.
