Abstract: Using traditional life tests in testing and reliability theory may result in extremely few failures by the completion of the experiment, leading to poorer estimations. To get the required failure as rapidly as possible for better estimation, products are exposed to higher stress levels, and this process is known as accelerated life testing. This paper develops a step stress partially accelerated life test that employs adaptive type-II progressive hybrid censoring scheme and assumes that the lifespan of test items follows a two-parameter inverted Lomax distribution. The likelihood and log-likelihood functions were created for adaptive type-II progressive hybrid censoring scheme data in order to get the point and interval of the model parameters using the maximum-likelihood estimation approach. Furthermore, using a Monte Carlo simulation analysis, the biases and mean square errors of the maximum-likelihood estimators are estimated to examine their performances in the presence of censoring introduced in this work.
