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...

ed on a progressively type-II censored sample from the exponential distribution with unknown location and scale parameter, confidence bands are proposed for underlying function by using regions parameters Kolmogorov–Smirnov type statistics. Simple explicit representations boundaries coverage probabilities of analytically derived, performance is compared in terms band width area means data examp...

In this paper, we focus on the parametric inference based Tampered Random Variable (TRV) model for simple step-stress life testing (SSLT) using Type-II censored data. The baseline lifetime of experimental units, under normal stress conditions, follows Gumbel distribution with $\alpha$ and $\lambda$ being shape scale parameters, respectively. Maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) Bayes parameters a...

Abstract: This paper considers the estimation problem for the Burr type-X, when the lifetimes are collected under Type-II progressive censoring with random removals, where the number of units removed at each failure time follows a binomial distribution. We use the methods of maximum likelihood as well as the Bayes procedure to derive both point and interval estimators of the parameters. The exp...
