Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to design a simple step-stress model under type-I censoring when the failure time has an extension of the exponential distribution. Design/methodology/approach – The scale parameter of the distribution is assumed to be a log-linear function of the stress and a cumulative exposure model is hold. The maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters, as well as the corresponding Fisher information matrix are derived. Two real examples are given to show the application of an extension of the exponential distribution in reliability studies and a numerical example is presented to illustrate the method discussed here. Findings – A simple step-stress test under cumulative exposure model and type-I censoring for an extension of the exponential distribution is presented. Originality/value – The work is original.
