  • Abstract
    This paper derives the minimum variance unbiased estimates of the reliability function associated with the 2-parameter exponential distribution truncated from above at a known point. The Blackwell-Rao and Lehmann-Scheffé theorems are applied to censored samples. For comparison, maximum likelihood estimates are provided.
