This paper develops a new method, named E-Bayesian estimation, to estimate reliability parameter. In the paper, the E-Bayesian estimation method of failure rate is derived for testing data from products with exponential distribution. Relations between E-Bayesian estimation and hierarchical Bayesian estimation are discussed. Finally, the new method is applied to a real testing data set, and as c...

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...
