Abstract
This paper considers the maximum likelihood estimator (m.l.e.) of the scale parameter of the exponential distribution in a life-testing situation, where the stopping rule is a prestated time. The life-test is examined periodically and the number of items that have failed since the previous inspection are counted. Approximations to the m.l.e. are considered along with their properties.Keywords
