The transmuted generalized inverse Weibull distribution in acceptance sampling plans based on life tests

Abstract

In this paper, designing of acceptance sampling plans for the truncated life test is suggested by assuming that the product lifetime follows transmuted generalized inverse Weibull distribution (TGIWD). For various values of the TGIWD parameters, the minimum sample sizes required to ensure the specified mean life are obtained, as well as the operating characteristic function values and producer’s risk of the suggested sampling plan are calculated. The results are explained by numerical examples and an application of real data is considered for illustration.
