Abstract
The methods to estimate the means of the lifetimes under modified Type I Censoring are discussed, in which case the distribution function of the lifetimes is unknown and the information about the individuals is cut by the fixed timeC. As a slight modification, we suggest observing small percentage of the lifetimes to construct the estimations. These estimations are unbiased and consistent.
