One-shot devices analysis involves an extreme case of interval censoring, wherein one can only know whether the failure time is either before or after the test time. Some kind of one-shot devices do not get destroyed when tested, and so can…
A one-shot device is a unit that operates only once, after which it is either destroyed or needs to be rebuilt. For this type of device, the operational status can only be assessed at a specific inspection time, determining whether failure…
