Abstract
Progressive censoring schemes are often adopted in clinical trials and life testing problems with a view to monitoring the experiment from the start with the objective of a possible early termination of the experiment depending on the cumulative evidence at its various stages. Along with a basic martingale property, a Wiener process approximation for progressively censored likelihood ratio statistics is established here and the same is incorporated in the formulation of some asymptotic sequential tests for the life testing problem.
