We review the work carried out on the problems of ranking and subset selection procedures for populations with censored data. Such problems arise in various situations such as industrial life testing, medical studies and biological experiments. In Section 1, we discuss selection procedures for selecting exponential populations with largest location parameter when the data is either Type-I or Type-II censored. Section 2 contains procedure for selecting exponential populations with largest scale parameter in the presence of Type-II censoring and in Section 3, in the presence of random censoring. In Section 4, we briefly discuss other parametric selection procedures in the presence of censoring. Selection Designs for Pilot Studies based on survival, assuming Cox Proportional Hazard Model, are discussed in Section 5. Section 6 contains a discussion on nonparametric subset selection procedures for selecting a subset containing the distribution associated with largest location parameter in the presence of Type-I censoring.
