Abstract

Under limited resources, the widely used V tq -optimal test plan determines the sample size, termination time, and number of measurements by minimizing the approximate variances of the estimated q-quantile, t q , for highly reliable products.This approach is economically efficient when the V tq -optimal test plan simultaneously satisfies another optimality criterion through an appropriate choice of q.Therefore, we theoretically study a bi-optimal quantile-based test plan based on a Wiener process, which achieves 100% efficiency for two optimality criteria.The necessary and sufficient conditions for its existence and uniqueness are derived, which can then be used to determine the optimal test configuration for accelerated degradation tests.Two numerical examples are presented to illustrate the practical applicability of the proposed bi-optimal quantile-based test plan.
