Abstract

The lifetimes of heterogeneous components from a load-share system can adequately be represented by the model of Extended Sequential Order Statistics (ESOS). In this thesis, we will present a series of exciting inferential results including different types of maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) of the underpinning model and distribution parameters and a likelihood ratio test to test whether the assumption of heterogeneous components is justified. The ESOS model is powerful but features a large number of parameters. We introduce link functions to the ESOS model to reduce the dimension of the parameter space while retaining the flexibility of the model.
