minimaxALT - Generate Optimal Designs of Accelerated Life Test using
PSO-Based Algorithm
A computationally efficient solution for generating
optimal experimental designs in Accelerated Life Testing (ALT).
Leveraging a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO)-based hybrid
algorithm, the package identifies optimal test plans that
minimize estimation variance under specified failure models and
stress profiles. For more detailed, see Lee et al. (2025),
