Abstract:

A method for constructing confidence intervals on parameters of a continuous probability distribution is developed in this paper. The objective is to present a model for an uncertainty represented by parameters of a probability density function.  As an application, confidence intervals for the two parameters of the Weibull distribution along with their joint confidence interval are derived. The model admits complete data, as well as censored data. The estimation accuracy of the proposed model is compared to those of the existing procedures by a numerical method. The validation analysis shows that the estimation accuracy of the proposed model lead to an encouraging conclusion. It is also shown that improper use of available information in the data that affects the width of the confidence intervals obtained by the existing procedures does not affect the coverage of the proposed confidence interval method.

Estimation of Parameters for an Extended Generalized Half Logistic Distribution Based on Complete and Censored Data

This paper considers an Extended Generalized Half Logistic distribution. We derive some properties of this distribution and then we discuss estimation of the distribution parameters by the methods of moments, maximum likelihood and the new method of minimum spacing distance estimator based on complete data. Also, maximum likelihood equations for estimating the parameters based on Type-I and Typ...

Non-Bayesian Estimation and Prediction under Weibull Interval Censored Data

In this paper, a one-sample point predictor of the random variable X is studied. X is the occurrence of an event in any successive visits $L_i$ and $R_i$ :i=1,2…,n (interval censoring). Our proposed method is based on finding the expected value of the conditional distribution of X given $L_i$ and $R_i$ (i=1,2…,n). To make the desired prediction, our approach is on the basis of approximating the...

Comparison of three Estimation Procedures for Weibull Distribution based on Progressive Type II Right Censored Data

In this paper, based on the progressive type II right censored data, we consider estimates of MLE and AMLE of scale and shape parameters of weibull distribution. Also a new type of parameter estimation, named inverse estimation, is introdued for both shape and scale parameters of weibull distribution which is used from order statistics properties in it. We use simulations and study the biases a...

Bayes estimation for the Marshall-Olkin bivariate Weibull distribution

In this paper, we consider the Bayesian analysis of the Marshall-Olkin bivariate Weibull distribution. It is a singular distribution whose marginals are Weibull distributions. This is a generalization of the Marshall-Olkin bivariate exponential distribution. It is well known that the maximum likelihood estimators of the unknown parameters do not always exist. The Bayes estimators are obtained w...
