A New Process Performance Index for the Weibull Distribution with a Type-I Hybrid Censoring Scheme

A new life performance index is proposed for evaluating the quality of lifetime products. The maximum likelihood estimation method and Bayesian approaches using informative non-informative prior distributions are utilized to infer parameters Weibull distribution under a Type-I hybrid censoring scheme. Monte Carlo simulation results show that two outperform in terms measures relative bias, mean square error, coverage probability point confidence interval estimators, respectively. approach recommended if knowledge setting up hyper-parameters not available. Two real data sets provided illustration.
