Abstract:

The mixture of Type I and Type II censoring schemes, called the hybrid censoring. This article presents the statistical inferences on lognormal parameters when the data are hybrid censored. We obtain the maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) and the approximate maximum likelihood estimators (AMLEs) of the unknown parameters. Asymptotic distributions of the maximum likelihood estimators are used to construct approximate confidence intervals. Monte Carlo simulations are performed to compare the performances of the different methods and one data set is analyzed for illustrative purposes.

Prediction of Times to Failure of Censored Units in Hybrid Censored Samples from Exponential Distribution

In this paper, we discuss different predictors of times to failure of units censored in a hybrid censored sample from exponential distribution. Bayesian and non-Bayesian point predictors for the times to failure of units are obtained. Non-Bayesian prediction Intervals are obtained based on pivotal and highest conditional density methods. Bayesian prediction intervals are also proposed. One real...

Inference about the Burr Type III Distribution under Type-II Hybrid Censored Data

This paper presents the statistical inference on the parameters of the Burr type III distribution, when the data are Type-II hybrid censored. The maximum likelihood estimators are developed for the unknown parameters using the EM algorithm method. We provided the observed Fisher information matrix using the missing information principle which is useful for constructing the asymptotic confidence...

Analysis of Record Data from the Scaled Logistic Distribution

In this paper, we consider the estimation of the unknown parameter of the scaled logistic distribution on the basis of record values. The maximum likelihood method does not provide an explicit estimator for the scale parameter. In this article, we present a simple method of deriving an explicit estimator by approximating the likelihood function. Bayes estimator is obtained using importance samp...

An EM Algorithm for Estimating the Parameters of the Generalized Exponential Distribution under Unified Hybrid Censored Data

The unified hybrid censoring is a mixture of generalized Type-I and Type-II hybrid censoring schemes. This article presents the statistical inferences on Generalized Exponential Distribution parameters when the data are obtained from the unified hybrid censoring scheme. It is observed that the maximum likelihood estimators can not be derived in closed form. The EM algorithm for computing the ma...

Estimation for the three-parameter lognormal distribution based on progressively censored data

Some work has been done in the past on the estimation of parameters of the threeparameter lognormal distribution based on complete and censored samples. In this article, we develop inferential methods based on progressively Type-II censored samples from a three-parameter lognormal distribution. In particular, we use the EM algorithm as well as some other numerical methods to determine maximum l...

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...
