The power-law process is widely used in the analysis of repairable system reliability. In this article, interval estimation for the scale parameter is investigated under some general conditions. A procedure to derive a generalized confidence interval for the scale parameter is presented. We also study the accuracy of the generalized confidence interval by Monte Carlo simulation. Finally, two examples are shown to illustrate the proposed procedure.
