Accelerated Life Testing (ALT) is an effective technique which has been used in different fields to obtain more failures in a shorter period of time. It is more economical than traditional reliability testing. In this article, we propose Bayesian inference approach for planning optimal constant stress ALT with Type I censoring. The lifetime of a test unit follows an exponentiated Lomax distribution. Bayes point estimates of the model parameters and credible intervals under uniform and log-normal priors are obtained. Besides, optimum test plan based on constant stress ALT under Type I censoring is developed by minimizing the pre-posterior variance of a specified low percentile of the lifetime distribution at use condition. Gibbs sampling method is used to find the optimal stress with changing time. The performance of the estimation methods is demonstrated for both simulated and real data sets. Results indicate that both the priors and the sample size affect the optimal Bayesian plans. Further, informative priors provide better results than non-informative priors.

<p>In this paper, the Bayesian estimation for the unknown parameters for the bivariate generalized exponential (BVGE) distribution under Bivariate censoring type-I samples with constant stress accelerated life testing (CSALT) are discussed. The scale parameter of the lifetime distribution at constant stress levels is assumed to be an inverse power law function of the stress level. The parameters are estimated by Bayesian approach using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method based on Gibbs sampling. Then, the numerical studies are introduced to illustrate the approach study using samples which have been generated from the BVGE distribution.</p>
