The two most popular censoring schemes used in life testing experiments are Type-I and Type-II censoring schemes. Hybrid censoring scheme is the mixture of Type-I and Type-II censoring scheme. In this article, we consider the estimation of parameters of Marshall-Olkin exponential distribution based on Type-I Hybrid censored data. Both classical and Bayesian methodology have been discussed to es...

In the literature of life-testing, general progressive censoring has been studied extensively. But, all the results have been developed under the key assumption that the units undertest are independently distributed. In this paper, we study general progressively Type-II censored order statistics arising from identical units under test which are jointly distributed according to an Archimedean co...

Competing risks data usually arises in studies in which the death or failure of an individual or an item may be classified into one of T≥2 mutually exclusive causes. In this paper, we will study the competing risks model when the data is progressively first-failure-censored. Based on this type of censoring, we derive the maximum likelihood estimators (MLE's) for the unknown parameters. Approxim...

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...

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...

Many studies have considered a truncated and censored samples which are type-I, type-II and hybrid censoring scheme. The inverse Weibull distribution has been utilized for the analysis of life testing and reliability data. Also, this distribution is a very flexible distribution. The inverse Rayleigh distribution and inverse exponential distribution are a special case of the inverse Weibull dist...

The progressive censoring scheme is a method of data collecting in reliability and life testing which has been of intensified interest in recent years. In the present paper, we prove some characterization results on generalized Pareto distribution based upon the independency and expected values of some functions of progressive type-II right censored order statistics.

This paper, determines the confidence interval using the Fisher information under progressive type-II censoring for the k-step exponential step-stress accelerated life testing. We study the performance of these confidence intervals. Finally an example is given to illustrate the proposed procedures.

This paper deals with the Bayesian inference of the linear hazard rate (LHR) distribution under a progressively censoring scheme. A unified treatment of both Type I and Type II censoring is presented under independent gamma priors for the parameters, that yields the posteriors as mixtures of gamma. The priors are motivated from a probability matching viewpoint. Along with marginal inference and...

Censoring models are frequently employed in reliability analysis to reduce experimental time. There are three censoring model: type-I, type-II and random censoring. In this study, we focus on the right-random censoring model. In the previous literature, an imputation of the censored observation is considered as the censoring time (Miller (1981), Lawless (1982), Lee (1992) and among others). Cle...
