Abstract
One simplification for a particular class of accelerated life-testing experiments is discussed. The efficacy of this simplification is compared with other alternatives. Evidence from simulation experiments shows that the presented simplification is superior. Several measures of precision for maximum-likelihood estimators of model parameters are analyzed. Asymptotically valid results provide a reasonable guide to the precision in these maximum-likelihood estimators
