Abstract: Abstract We present a methodology for performing statistical inference procedures during the actual conduct of a life test experiment that can reduce time on test and cost. The method relies on properties of conditional order statistic distributions to convert censored data into iid uniform random variables. A secondary result presents a new test for uniformity based on the convolution of these iid uniform random variables that is higher in power than the benchmark Anderson–Darling test statistic in certain cases.
