Nonparametric predictive selection with early experiment termination

Nonparametric predictive inference (NPI) is a statistical approach based on few assumptions about probability distributions, with inferences based on data. NPI assumes exchangeability of random quantities, both related to observed data and future observations, and uncertainty is quantified using lower and upper probabilities. In this paper, units from several groups are placed simultaneously on a lifetime experiment and times-to-failure are...
