Abstract
The CSTF and TSTF binary start-up demonstration tests have been studied in the literature. It has been shown that both tests perform optimal for various situations but neither one is an overall best test. Therefore, we propose a new demonstration test that is a compromise between the CSTF and TSTF start-up demonstration tests. The practitioner would accept the equipment if a cluster of successes occur prior to a preset number of failures, and rejection otherwise. Markov chains are used in the probabilistic analysis and this is extended to the non-i.i.d. case. Point and interval estimation is studied.
