Abstract
The maximum likelihood and moments methods are discussed for estimating the parameters of reliability models with intermittent inspection. In such a formulation, the actual failure time is not known, because failure is detected only at the first inspection time after the failure. For the exponential distribution, both methods yield the same result.
