โฆ Synopsis
The problem of comparing two treatments with respect to a continuous response variable, following an exponential distribution, is considered. It is assumed that a relevant comparative clinical trial is planned t o either (i) test that the effect of one treatment is larger or not much smaller than that of the other, (ii) test whether the treatments are equivalent, or (iii) select the better treetment when they may not be equivalent and otherwise assert equivalence. Statistical procedures for achieving these goals are proposed and description of the required sample sizes is given with the necessary tables.

We consider optimal test plans involving life distributions with failure-free life, i.e., where there is an unknown threshold parameter below which no failure will occur. These distributions do not satisfy the regularity conditions and thus the usual approach of using the Fisher information matrix t
Properties of the negative exponential distribution of exponential populations are calculated as an illustration of the behavior of a population in which the average extension of life for the survivors increases as a function of the time. The equation specifying the distribution is and the n th mom
