RELIABILITY ESTIMATION FOR MEAN UNDER NON- NORMAL POPULATION AND MEASUREMENT ERROR
Keywords:
Edgeworth Series, Standardized Cumulants, Reliability Function, Non-Normal Population.Abstract
Effect of non-normality and measurement error on ~ R (t) function has been studied. Numerical results are given to illustrate the mathematical findings.
