New double sampling plans for lot acceptance reduce inspection effort using truncated life tests and a Tsallis q-exponential distribution. These plans outperform standard single sampling schemes, saving resources.
Area of Science:
- Statistics
- Quality Control
- Reliability Engineering
Background:
- Lot acceptance sampling is crucial for quality control.
- Truncated life tests are used when complete testing is infeasible.
- The Tsallis q-exponential distribution offers a flexible model for lifetime data.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop optimal double sampling plans for lot acceptance.
- To minimize expected sample size under truncated life tests.
- To utilize the Tsallis q-exponential distribution for lifetime modeling.
Main Methods:
- Derivation of double sampling plans by minimizing expected sample size.
- Application of the Tsallis q-exponential distribution to model lifetime.
- Comparative analysis with existing single and double sampling plans.
Main Results:
- The proposed double sampling plans significantly reduce inspection effort compared to single sampling.
- The Tsallis q-exponential distribution effectively models lifetime data for these plans.
- Performance analysis through tables and figures demonstrates superiority over standard plans.
Conclusions:
- The developed double sampling scheme offers a more efficient approach to lot acceptance.
- This method provides substantial savings in inspection resources.
- The findings are supported by comparative studies and practical applications.

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...
