2 1 Introduction When a manufacturer produces a new product, he should test the reliability of the product for a particular duration of time to make sure that the product will perform to the best as expected by the consumer Fixing of the testing time based on prior information is one of the difficult tasks The incorporation of priori information about the failure rate and its upper bounds, take a significant role for fixing the duration of testing time in the design of reliability test plans Some of the references related to optimal reliability test plans for exponentially distributed lifetimes of components, with constant unknown failure rates are [1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 7, 6] The optimal test times or an optimal number of components to be tested, reported under various situations in these papers are supposed to be used under normal working conditions regardless of the environment in which component testing is to be carried out In [4], the reliability test plan for a series system is constructed by assuming constant failure rate that depends upon the mission performed For a parallel system consisting of n components, [5] designed reliability test plans with the assumption that the components have lifetimes that are exponentially distributed The parameters, 1 i n, of the exponential distributions depend upon k covariates through exponential relationships But, there is no literature available in Bayesian reliability test plans In this paper, we propose a Bayesian reliability test plan for a series system consisting of n components with the assumption that components have lifetimes that are exponentially distributed with non-informative quasi-prior; here, some preliminaries are given and then the problem is formulated as a reliability optimization problem The system is accepted if the reliability estimate ˆR d, where d (0, 1) and the reliability estimate is obtained using the Bayesian estimator of failure rate A system is considered at time t 1 to be satisfactory if R, the probability that the system survives for one unit time is greater than or equal to R 1 and it is considered to be unsatisfactory if R R 0, where R 0 and R 1 are constant such that 0 < R 0 < R 1 < 1 Then the solution procedure of the formulated optimization problem is explained and type-i censoring scheme is employed to obtain the data Finally, the developed optimal test plan is illustrated through examples ijpameu
3 2 Some Preliminaries and Description of the Problem In this paper, we are considering the problem of testing the reliability of a series system with n independent components under type-i censoring, where the i th component has exponential lifetime with unknown parameter, u i i 1, 2,, n, and u i is the predefined upper bound of the failure rate Then the series system reliability for unit time period is given by R n e We consider the quasi-prior g 1, k 0, a simple prior as the λ k i non-informative quasi-prior for We test the i th component in (0, ] As soon as the component fails, it will be replaced by an identical component, so that the testing continue till the fixed time, 1 i n Posterior Distribution Based on Type-I Censoring: Since T ij, the lifetime of j th component of type i, follows Exponential distribution with failure rate, the pdf of T ij is given by f(t ij ) e t ij Then the likelihood function based on type-i censoring is given by L λi e t δj ij e t 1 δj ij λ X i i e, j N where δ i 1 if t ij, δ i 0 if t ij >, X i δ j and j N t ij j N Let f(t ij, ), g( t ij ) and f(t ij ) be the joint density of t ij and, the conditional density of, given t ij, and the conditional density of t ij, given, respectively Under the assumption that the marginal densities m(t ij ) and g of t ij and, respectively, satisfy the conditions required for the existence of conditional densities, we have g( t ij ) f(t ij, ) and f(t ij ) f(t ij, ) m(t ij ) g Thus the posterior distribution of is given by g( t ij ) g()f(t ij ) m(t ij ) λ X i i e 1 λ k i 0 g()f(t ij )d gf(t ij ) 0 g()f(t ij )d L X i k+1 i Γ (X i k + 1) λx i k i e ijpameu

5 3 Optimal Design of the Problem Let c i denote the cost of testing the i th component per unit time Then the aim is to find the time periods, 1 i n that minimize the total testing cost subjected to type-i and type-ii error constraints That is, the problem is to determine the optimum values of by formulating the following optimization problem: Minimize C n c i such that P (Accept the system System is good) 1 α, (1) P (Accept the system System is bad) β, (2) where 0 < β, 1 α < 1 Here the first constraint is usually referred to as producer s risk while the second is the consumer s risk Using the acceptance rule defined in the previous section, the constraints (1) and (2) can be written as min P ( max P X i k + 1 ln d ( The exact distribution of ) ln R 1 1 α, (3) X i k + 1 ln d ) ln R 0 β (4) X i k + 1 is not easy to obtain, and in order to obtain the tractable problem, we therefore need to X i k + 1 approximate the distribution of Recall that n X i k + 1 has mean n k + 1 and variance Then constraints (3) and (4) become min ln d n k + 1 ln R 1 Z 1 α, (5) ijpameu
6 ln d n k + 1 max ln R 0 Z β (6) Z 1 α and Z β are strictly positive and negative respectively for all values of α, β < 05 Now consider the optimization problem in left hand side of the constraint (5) Clearly, this optimization problem will attain the optimum when n ln R 1, then this optimization problem can be rewritten as 1 ln d + ln R 1 + (k 1) min such that ln R 1 Since the numerator is a positive and independent of, to minimize the objective function, it is enough to maximize the denominator Now, using the priori information on upper bound of failure rate, this optimization problem can be rewritten as max such that ln R 1, u i i 1, 2,, n This is an optimization problem in Define ϑ1 i u i if i j and ϑ1 i ln R 1 i j u i if i j for j 1, 2,, n Then it is clear that by assuming feasibility, the optimum solution to above maximization problem will be at any one of these ϑ1 i s, let it be ϑ1 i Then the constraint (5) can be written as Z 1 α n ϑ1 i (k 1) 1 ln d + ln R 1 (7) Similarly by defining ϑ2 i u i if i j and ϑ2 i ln R 0 i j u i if i j for j 1, 2,, n, and by assuming feasibility, the optimum solution of the maximization problem corresponding to constraint ijpameu
7 (6) will be at any one of these ϑ2 i s, let it be ϑ2 i, and then the constraint (6) can be rewritten as Z β n ϑ2 i (k 1) 1 ln d + ln R 0 (8) Now for d (0, 1), the optimal design is a convex programming problem to minimize C n c i subjected to constraints (7) and (8) It can be solved easily 4 Numerical Results The method presented in the previous section is illustrated below with the help of numerical computation Let the number of components in a series system be 3 and the cost vector c (1, 15, 2) and the upper bound vector of failure rate u (007, 005, 007) Then the following Table gives the optimal test times and total testing cost for different inputs Table 1 Numerical examples for a three component series system α β R 0 R 1 k L 1 L 2 L 3 C ln d The results are generated by running Visual C++ and LINGO11 in tandem The programming is done in Visual C++, within which LINGO11 is called whenever an optimization required 5 Conclusions In this paper, the designing of an optimal reliability test plan for a series system with a failure rate as random variable having quasidensity is discussed in detail The data are obtained through type-i censoring scheme, and the reliability estimator is obtained by estimating a Bayesian estimator of failure rate Some numerical examples are also computed to illustrate the Bayesian approach of ijpameu

In statistics, a random sample is a collection of independent and identically distributed (iid) random variables, and a sampling distribution is the distribution of a function of random sample. For example,
