A note on life testing under competing causes of failure with Type I censoring by Low, Chan Kee, Balasooriya, Uditha

“…In the computations of sampling plans for life test experiments where specimens are subject to competing causes of failure, Balasooriya and Low [1] used one of the failure distributions to approximate the exact failure distribu-tion. This approximation is in fact unnecessary as one can use numerical meth-ods to compute the quantiles of the exact failure distribution. …”
