Abstract:

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 Carlo simulation study are presented to illustrate all the prediction methods discussed in this paper.

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...

Estimation for the Type-II Extreme Value Distribution Based on Progressive Type-II Censoring

In this paper, we discuss the statistical inference on the unknown parameters and reliability function of type-II extreme value (EVII) distribution when the observed data are progressively type-II censored. By applying EM algorithm, we obtain maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs). We also suggest approximate maximum likelihood estimators (AMLEs), which have explicit expressions. We provide Bayes ...

Prediction of Times to Failure of Censored Units in Progressive Hybrid Censored Samples for the Proportional Hazards Family

In this paper, the problem of predicting times to failure of units censored in multiple stages of progressively hybrid censoring for the proportional hazards family is considered. We discuss different classical predictors. The best unbiased predictor ($BUP$), the maximum likelihood predictor ($MLP$) and conditional median predictor ($CMP$) are all derived. As an example, the obtained results ar...

Modified Progressive Type-II Censoring Procedure in Life-Testing under the Weibull Model

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 ...

Adaptive Progressive Type-II Censoring

Extending the model of progressive Type-II censoring, an adaption process is introduced. It allows to choose the next censoring number taking into account both the previous censoring numbers and the previous failure times. After deriving some distributional results, it is shown that maximum likelihood estimators coincide with those in deterministic progressive Type-II censoring. Finally, infere...
