An expectation–maximization (EM) likelihood estimation procedure is proposed to obtain the maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters in a mixture distributions model based on type-I hybrid censored samples when the mixture proportions are unknown. Three bootstrap methods are applied to construct the confidence intervals of the model parameters. Monte Carlo simulations are conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed methods. Simulation results show that the proposed methods can perform well to obtain reliable point and interval estimation results. Three examples are used to illustrate the applications of the proposed methods.

The present article aims to point and interval estimation of the parameters of generalised exponential distribution (GED) under progressive interval type-I (PITI) censoring scheme with random removals. The considered censoring scheme is most useful in those cases where continuous examination is not possible. Maximum likelihood, expectation-maximization and Bayesian procedures have been developed for the estimation of parameters of the GED, based on a PITI censored sample. Real datasets have been considered to illustrate the applicability of the proposed work. Further, we have compared the performances of the proposed estimators under PITI censoring to that of the complete sample.

In this paper, we have considered the problem of optimal inspection times for the progressive interval type-I censoring scheme where uncertainty in the process is governed by the two-parameter Rayleigh distribution. Here, we also introduced some optimality criterion and determined the optimum inspection times, accordingly. The effect of the number of inspections and choice of optimally spaced inspection times based on the asymptotic relative efficiencies of the maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters are also investigated. Further, we have discussed the optimal progressive type-I interval censoring plan when the inspection times and the expected proportions of total failures in the experiment are under control.
