Abstract

Field trials for life estimation differ in essential respects from laboratory trials for the same purpose in that the psychological reactions of the users play an important role, specially when the users stand to gain by tampering with the data. The method of sampling and of estimation have been discussed, both when only complete lives are used and from truncated normal and exponential populations.
