“…More specifically, for any u ∈ (0, 1), we have lim θ↑∞ F r ((n − 1 + u)T ; θ|D 1) = u when r > 1 and lim θ↑∞ F r (nuT ; θ|D 1) = u when r = 1 which means that the problem of nonexistence of a solution to the equation F r (y; θ|D 1) = u for particular values y is also present here. The same situation arises under type-I hybrid progressive censoring introduced by Childs et al (2008) (see also Cramer and Balakrishnan, 2013), generalized type-II hybrid censoring (Chandrasekar et al, 2004), progressive type-I censoring (Balakrishnan, 2007;Balakrishnan et al, 2011) and some other life-testing scenarios as well.…”
