The Type-II generalized progressively hybrid censored scheme with masked data is presented. Based on masked system lifetime data, using the expectation maximization algorithm and the Quasi-Newton method, we obtain the Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) of the components distribution parameters in the Weibull case. Finally, Monte Carlo simulation is presented to illustrate the effect.

We consider the series system with three independent and non-identical components, each of which has Burr XII distributed lifetime. Based on progressively type-II censored and masked system lifetime data, the maximum likelihood estimates (MLE) of the components parameters and reliability function are obtained. By introducing a latent variable, Bayesian estimators of the components parameters and the reliability function are also developed using Gibbs sampling method. Furthermore, in the numerical simulation study, the MLE and Bayesian estimates are compared under different removal probabilities and different times.

The three-parameter Burr type XII distribution (3pBXIID) is quite flexible and contains a wide range of distribution shapes for fitting lifetime data. However, it is difficult to obtain reliable estimates of the 3pBXIID quantiles from censored samples for evaluating the reliability of lifetime data. In this work, a Metropolis–Hastings Markov chain Monte Carlo (M-H MCMC) procedure is proposed to obtain reliable maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs) of the 3pBXIID quantiles from a type II censored sample. Moreover, the parametric bootstrap percentile procedure is used to obtain the confidence interval of the quantile of the 3pBXIID. The performance of the proposed M-H MCMC method is evaluated in view of Monte Carlo simulations. Two examples, regarding the survival lifetimes of breast cancer patients and the reliability inference on the lifetimes of oil-well pumps for sucker-rod oil pumping systems, are applied to illustrate the applications of the proposed M-H MCMC method and bootstrap procedure.
