Abstract:
Optimal double sampling plans for lot acceptance based on truncated life tests are derived by minimizing the expected sample size when the lifetime variable follows a Tsallis q-exponential distribution. The proposed test plans significantly reduce the inspection effort with respect to the best single sampling schemes. Some tables and figures are presented to analyze the behavior of the suggested test plans. The results show that the proposed lot inspection scheme clearly outperforms the standard single sampling plan. A justification is provided using a comparative study for existing double sampling plans. Finally, several applications are provided for illustrative purposes.

Left truncation occurs when individuals who experienced the event of interest before a certain time are not included in the study. This is often due to a "delayed entry" into the study where only those who survive until a certain entry point are...

Testing a Claim about Population Proportion
There are two methods of testing a claim about a population proportion: (1) Using the sample proportion from the data where a binomial distribution is approximated to the normal distribution and (2) Using the binomial probabilities calculated from the data.
The first method uses normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution. The requirements are as follows: sample size is large...
