Abstract

Suppose components have lifetimes which follow a Weibull distribution. Given the first k failure times of a sample of n components, Bayesian predictions are to be made on Xk+s (s = 1,2, 3,…,n-k), the ordered failure times ofthe remaining components in the sample using the conditional probability density function.Examples are given toillustrate the procedure.
