Stochastic monotonicity of MLEs of the mean for exponentially distributed lifetimes under hybrid censoring

Publication date: Available online 24 December 2018Source: Statistics & Probability LettersAuthor(s): Thomas van Bentum, Erhard CramerAbstractA generalized Three Monotonicities Lemma is established. Assuming exponentially distributed lifetimes, it is used to prove the stochastic monotonicity of the MLE of the mean under various hybrid censoring schemes where it had been conjectured but remained unproven so far.
