Abstract
Estimators for failure-law parameters are derived for the components of a series system under an attribute life test situation where the parameters of the failure laws are unequal. Exponential, Rayleigh, mixed exponential and Rayleigh, and a special case of the Weibull failure models are treated. An example uses simulated data for a 10-component system.
