Abstract

In survival analysis, applying stress is often used to accelerate an experiment. Stress can be discontinuous, and the step-stress model is applied widely due to its flexibility. However, in reality, when new stress is applied, it often does not take effect immediately, but there will be a lagged effect. Under the lagged-effect step-stress model, the statistical inference of the Chen distribution is discussed. The Chen distribution is an important life distribution as its risk function is bathtub-shaped with certain parameters. In this paper, the maximum likelihood estimators are presented and the Newton–Raphson algorithm is used. According to the form of risk function under this model, the explicit expressions of least squares estimators are obtained. The calculation methods of asymptotic confidence intervals and coverage probabilities are proposed by using the observed Fisher matrix. Finally, to evaluate the performance of the above estimation methods, a Monte Carlo simulation study is provided.
