Analysis of Progressive First-Failure-Censoring for Non-normal Model Using Competing Risks Data
نویسنده
چکیده
Competing risks data usually arises in studies in which the death or failure of an individual or an item may be classified into one of T≥2 mutually exclusive causes. In this paper, we will study the competing risks model when the data is progressively first-failure-censored. Based on this type of censoring, we derive the maximum likelihood estimators (MLE's) for the unknown parameters. Approximate confidence intervals and two bootstrap confidence intervals are also proposed. The results in the cases of first-failure censoring, progressive Type II censoring, Type II censoring and complete sample are special cases. A real data set has been analyzed for illustrative purposes. Different methods have been compared using Monte Carlo simulations.

Monitoring the censored lognormal reliability data in a three-stage process using AFT model
Improving the product reliability is the main concern in both manufacturing and service processes which is obtained by monitoring the reliability-related quality characteristics. Nowadays, products or services are the result of processes with dependent stages referred to as multistage processes. In these processes, the quality characteristic in each stage is affected by the quality characterist...

This paper presents estimates of the parameters based on adaptive type-II progressive hybrid censoring scheme (AT-II PHCS) in the presence of the competing risks model. We consider the competing risks have generalized exponential distributions (GED). The maximum likelihood method is used to derive point and asymptotic confidence intervals for the unknown parameters. The relative risks due to ea...
متن کاملAnalysis of Progressive Type-II Censoring in the Weibull Model for Competing Risks Data with Binomial Removals
In reliability and survival analysis, the cause of failure/death of items/subjects can be attributed to more than one source. It is well known as the competing risks problem in statistical literature. In this paper, we assume that the lifetime of each unit which fails due to a different cause of failure, follows a Weibull distribution with different parameters. It is further assumed that in the...
متن کاملAnalysis of Progressive Censoring Competing Risks Data with Binomial Removals
In several studies in reliability and in medical science, the cause of failure/death of items or individuals may be attributable to more then one cause. In this paper, we will study the competing risks model when the data is progressively Type-II censored with random removals. We study the model under the assumption of independent causes of failure and exponential lifetimes, where the number of...
متن کاملAnalysis Of Type-II Progressively Hybrid Censored Competing Risks Data
In medical studies or in reliability analysis, it is quite common that the failure of any individual or any item may be attributable to more than one cause. Moreover, the observed data are often censored. Hybrid censoring scheme which is the mixture of conventional Type-I and Type-II censoring schemes is quite useful in life-testing or reliability experiments. Recently Type-II progressive censo...
