There is no such thing as a free lunch: A comment on a new method for reliability demonstration

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

A new distribution-free method for reliability demonstration tests has recently been proposed. It has further been claimed that this method can be applied when only one or two samples are available. An investigation of the confidence level properties of this method demonstrates that it is completely ineffective and that the claims made on its behalf are fallacious.
