Exact hypothesis testing and confidence interval for mean of the exponential distribution under Type-I progressive hybrid censoring

Authors

Abstract:

 ‎Censored samples are discussed in experiments of life-testing; i.e‎. ‎whenever the experimenter does not observe the failure times of all units placed on a life test‎. ‎In recent years‎, ‎inference based on censored sampling is considered‎, ‎so that about the parameters of various distributions such as ‎normal‎, ‎exponential‎, ‎gamma‎, ‎Rayleigh‎, ‎Weibull‎, ‎log normal‎, ‎inverse Gaussian‎, ‎logistic‎, ‎Laplace‎, ‎and Pareto‎, ‎has been inferred based on censored sampling‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎a procedure for exact hypothesis testing and obtaining confidence interval for mean of the exponential distribution under Type-I progressive hybrid censoring is proposed‎. ‎Then‎, ‎performance of the proposed confidence interval is evaluated using simulation‎. ‎Finally‎, ‎the proposed procedures are performed on a data set‎.

Parameter estimations for mixed generalized exponential distribution based on progressive type-I interval censoring

Abstract: This paper considers the estimation of parameters based on a progressively type-I interval-censored data from a mixed generalized exponential distribution. The maximum likelihood estimation is used but an analytic form cannot be obtained. The EM algorithm is applied to obtain the maximum likelihood estimates. The performance of the estimates is judged by a simulating study and a real ...

Exact Inference for the Two-Parameter Exponential Distribution Under Type-II Hybrid Censoring

Epstein [9] introduced the Type-I hybrid censoring scheme as a mixture of Type-I and Type-II censoring schemes. Childs et al. [5] introduced the Type-II hybrid censoring scheme as an alternative to Type-I hybrid censoring scheme, and provided the exact distribution of the maximum likelihood estimator of the mean of a one parameter exponential distribution based on Type-II hybrid censored sample...

Estimations of the Parameters of Generalised Exponential Distribution under Progressive Interval Type-I Censoring Scheme with Random Removals

The present article aims to point and interval estimation of the parameters of generalised exponential distribution (GED) under progressive interval type-I (PITI) censoring scheme with random removals. The considered censoring scheme is most useful in those cases where continuous examination is not possible. Maximum likelihood, expectationmaximization and Bayesian procedures have been developed...

Bayesian Simple Step–Stress Acceleration Life Testing Plan under Progressive Type-I Right Censoring for Exponential Life Distribution

This paper discusses the design of the optimal SSALT plan using Bayesian approach and progressive Type-I right censoring for an exponential life distribution under large sample size and small censoring proportion. The cumulative exposure model and the exponential life distribution in both steps are assumed. The progressive Type-I right censoring can reduce the cost of the test. This reduction, ...

Inference for the Type-II Generalized Logistic Distribution with Progressive Hybrid Censoring

This article presents the analysis of the Type-II hybrid progressively censored data when the lifetime distributions of the items follow Type-II generalized logistic distribution. Maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) are investigated for estimating the location and scale parameters. It is observed that the MLEs can not be obtained in explicit forms. We provide the approximate maximum likelihood...

Invariant Empirical Bayes Confidence Interval for Mean Vector of Normal Distribution and its Generalization for Exponential Family

Based on a given Bayesian model of multivariate normal with  known variance matrix we will find an empirical Bayes confidence interval for the mean vector components which have normal distribution. We will find this empirical Bayes confidence interval as a conditional form on ancillary statistic. In both cases (i.e.  conditional and unconditional empirical Bayes confidence interval), the empiri...
