Abstract:

In this paper we introduce a new scheme of censoring and study it under the Weibull distribution. This scheme is a mixture of progressive Type II censoring and self relocating design which was first introduced by Srivastava [8]. We show the superiority of this censoring scheme (PSRD) relative to the classical schemes with respect to “asymptotic variance”. Comparisons are also made with respect to the total expected time under experiment (TETUE) as an important feature of time and cost saving. These comparisons show that TETUE(SRD) < TETUE(PSRD) < TETUE(PC2) if 0 < β < 1, TETUE(PSRD) = TETUE(SRD) < TETUE(PC2) if β = 1 and TETUE(PSRD) is the best among all the designs if β = 2 (Rayleigh distribution case).

exponentiated-Weibull distribution under type II censoring

This paper considers the three-parameter exponentiated Weibull family under type II censoring. It first graphically illustrates the shape property of the hazard function. Then, it proposes a simple algorithm for computing the maximum likelihood estimator and derives the Fisher information matrix. The latter one is represented through a single integral in terms of hazard function, hence it solve...

Bayesian and Maximum Likelihood Estimations of the Inverse Weibull Parameters Under Progressive Type-II Censoring

In this paper, the statistical inference of the unknown parameters of a twoparameter inverse Weibull (IW) distribution based on the progressive Type-II censored sample has been considered. The maximum likelihood estimators cannot be obtained in explicit forms, hence the approximate maximum likelihood estimators are proposed, which are in explicit forms. The Bayes and generalized Bayes estimator...

Point Prediction for the Proportional Hazards Family under Progressive Type-II Censoring

In this paper, we discuss dierent predictors of times to failure of units censored in multiple stages in a progressively censored  sample from proportional hazard rate models. The maximum likelihood predictors, best unbiased predictors and conditional median predictors are considered. We also consider Bayesian point predictors for the times to failure of units. A numerical example and a Monte C...

Bayesian Inference and Life Testing Plan for the Weibull Distribution in Presence of Progressive Censoring

This article deals with the Bayesian inference of unknown parameters of the progressively censored Weibull distribution. It is well known that for a Weibull distribution, while computing the Bayes estimates, the continuous conjugate joint prior distribution of the shape and scale parameters does not exist. In this article it is assumed that the shape parameter has a log-concave prior density fu...

Inference for the Proportional Hazards Family under Progressive Type-II Censoring

In this paper, the well-known proportional hazards model which includes several well-known lifetime distributions such as exponential,Pareto, Lomax, Burr type XII, and so on is considered. With both Bayesian and non-Bayesian approaches , we consider the estimation of parameters of interest based on progressively Type-II right censored samples. The Bayes estimates are obtained based on symmetric...
