Pitman-Closeness of Preliminary Test and Some Classical Estimators Based on Records from Two-Parameter Exponential Distribution

Authors

Abstract:

In this paper, we study the performance of estimators of parametersof two-parameter exponential distribution based on upper records. The generalized likelihood ratio (GLR) test was used to generate preliminary test estimator (PTE) for both parameters. We have compared the proposed estimator with maximum likelihood (ML) and unbiased estimators (UE) under mean-squared error (MSE) and Pitman measure of closeness (PMC). Analytical as well as graphical methods are used to show the range of parameter in which PTE performs better than ML and UE. Results demonstrate that in the case of that prior information is not too far from its real value, the PTE is superior in compare with ML and UE based on both MSE and PMC criteria. The results of the paper will be useful in estimation with record data in life testing experiments.

On Pitman Closeness of Pitman Estimators

Pitman estimators of location are unbiased, translation-equivariant and possess some optimality properties under quadratic loss. Similar optimality properties of Pitman estimators are studied with respect to the measure of Pitman closeness of estimators.

Two-Sided Tolerance Interval for Exponential Distribution Based on Records

Tolerance interval is a random interval that contains a proportion of the population with a determined confidence level and is applied in many application fields such as reliability and quality control. In this paper, based on record data, we obtain a two-sided tolerance interval for the exponential population. An example of real record data is presented. Finally, we discuss the accuracy of ...

Classical and Bayesian Inference in Two Parameter Exponential Distribution with Randomly Censored Data

Abstract. This paper deals with the classical and Bayesian estimation for two parameter exponential distribution having scale and location parameters with randomly censored data. The censoring time is also assumed to follow a two parameter exponential distribution with different scale but same location parameter. The main stress is on the location parameter in this paper. This parameter has not...

Some Alternative Classes of Shrinkage Estimators for a Scale Parameter of the Exponential Distribution

This paper proposes some alternative classes of shrinkage estimators and analyzes their properties. In particular, some new shrinkage estimators are identified and compared with Pandey (1983), Pandey and Srivastava (1985) and Jani (1991) estimators. Numerical illustrations are also provided.
