New approximate solutions per unit of time for periodically checked systems with different lifetime distributions.
New models in durability tool-testing: pseudo-Weibull distribution
New results on the NBUFR and NBUE classes of life distributions
Some properties of the "new better than used in failure rate" (NBUFR) and the "new better than used in expectation" (NBUE) classes of life distributions are given. These properties include moment inequalities and moment generating functions behaviors. In addition, nonparametric estimation and testing of the survival functions of these classes are discussed.

Nonparametric estimation: the survival function.
The unknown survival function S(t) of a random variable T ≥ 0 is considered. First we study the properties of S(t) and then, we estimate it from a Bayesian point of view. We compare the estimator with the posterior mean and we finish giving Bayes rules for linear functions of S(t).
