Abstract :
Asymptotic distributions of several estimators, proposed in the literature for estimating reliability after corrective action, are derived here. Furthermore, the maximum likelihood estimators for the special case of equal failure probabilities are obtained. Some of the estimators appearing in the literature are shown to be not s-consistent.
