Abstract

We consider the inference for the simple step-stress model with a threshold parameter in accelerated life testing. An exponential life distribution with a mean that is a log-linear function of stress, and a cumulative exposure model are assumed. Maximum likelihood estimators for the model parameters are found. Confidence intervals of parameters are constructed using pivotal quantities. A numerical example is given to illustrate the inferential procedure.
