A study on start-up demonstration tests based on a finite Markov chains imbedding approach. (Chinese. English summary) Zbl 1236.62149

Summary: A new method of start-up demonstration tests is introduced as an alternative and extension to previous ones. A probabilistic analysis of the tests in the case of independent and identical distributions is made using a finite Markov chain imbedding approach. A numerical example provides some promising results. The results show that the new method overcomes the limitation of old ones.
