comparing three different censoring schemes from the perspective of experimental design cost

Type i and type ii hybrid censoring schemes are designed to overcome the drawbacks of conventional type i and type ii censoring schemes by setting both a maximum test duration and a minimum required number of failures. the key difference lies in the termination rule, which determines the experiment’s stopping time. on the other hand, cost is always an important criterion in decision-making because we often face cost constraints in experiments. this article attempts to compare three different censoring methods, as the conventional type ii and type i and ii hybrid censoring schemes, from a cost perspective.
