  • Abstract
    This paper considers the problem of nonparametric accelerated life testing by extending the results of Shaked & Singpurwalla in two directions. First we solve the case of censored data. Next we extend the methods to the case of competing risks. A s-consistent estimate of the failure distribution at use-stress is given for both cases.
