Under Hybrid Type-II censoring, $n$ identical units are placed on life test. The experiment terminates at: $$T^* = \max(x_r, T_c)$$ where $r \le n$ is the target number of failures and $T_c > 0$ is the pre-fixed censoring time. The likelihood function is: $$L(\theta \mid \mathbf{x}, r, T_c, n) = \left[ \prod_{i=1}^d f(x_i; \theta) \right] [S(T^*; \theta)]^{n - d}$$ where $d \ge r$ is the number of observed failures up to time $T^*$. # Getting Started ```{r example-exponential} library(gpcihybridIIImpSam) # 1.
