Abstract
The problem considered is that of unbiased estimation of reliability for a two-parameter exponential distribution under time censored sampling. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimator and also provide a characterization of a complete class of unbiased estimators in situations where unbiased estimators exist.
