A competing risks model under progressively type II censored data following the Rayleigh distribution is considered. We establish the maximum likelihood estimation for unknown parameters and compute the observed information matrix and the expected Fisher information matrix to construct the asymptotic confidence intervals. Moreover, we obtain the Bayes estimation based on symmetric and non-symmetric loss functions, that is, the squared error loss function and the general entropy loss function, and the highest posterior density intervals are also derived. In addition, a simulation study is presented to assess the performances of different methods discussed in this paper. A real-life data set analysis is provided for illustration purposes.

This paper attempts to estimate the parameters for the two-parameter Rayleigh distribution based on adaptive Type II progressive hybrid censored data with competing risks. Firstly, the maximum likelihood function and the maximum likelihood estimators are derived before the existence and uniqueness of the latter are proven. Further, Bayesian estimators are considered under symmetric and asymmetric loss functions, that is the squared error loss function, the LINEXloss function, and the general entropy loss function. As the Bayesian estimators cannot be obtained explicitly, the Lindley method is applied to compute the approximate Bayesian estimates. Finally, a simulation study is conducted, and a real dataset is analyzed for illustrative purposes.

In this paper, Bayes estimators of the unknown shape and scale parameters of the Exponentiated Inverse Rayleigh Distribution (EIRD) have been derived using both the frequentist and bayesian methods. The Bayes theorem was adopted to obtain the posterior distribution of the shape and scale parameters of an Exponentiated Inverse Rayleigh Distribution (EIRD) using both conjugate and non-conjugate prior distribution under different loss functions (such as Entropy Loss Function, Linex Loss Function and Scale Invariant Squared Error Loss Function). The posterior distribution derived for both shape and scale parameters are intractable and a Lindley approximation was adopted to obtain the parameters of interest. The loss function were employed to obtain the estimates for both scale and shape parameters with an assumption that the both scale and shape parameters are unknown and independent. Also the Bayes estimate for the simulated datasets and real life datasets were obtained. The Bayes estimates obtained under dierent loss functions are close to the true parameter value of the shape and scale parameters. The estimators are then compared in terms of their Mean Square Error (MSE) using R programming language. We deduce that the MSE reduces as the sample size (n) increases.

In this article, we study the geometric distribution under randomly censored data. Maximum likelihood estimators and confidence intervals based on Fisher information matrix are derived for the unknown parameters with randomly censored data. Bayes estimators are also developed using beta priors under generalized entropy and LINEX loss functions. Also, Bayesian credible and highest posterior density (HPD) credible intervals are obtained for the parameters. Expected time on test and reliability characteristics are also analyzed in this article. To compare various estimates developed in the article, a Monte Carlo simulation study is carried out. Finally, for illustration purpose, a randomly censored real data set is discussed.

The point and interval estimations for the unknown parameters of an exponentiated half-logistic distribution based on adaptive type II progressive censoring are obtained in this article. At the beginning, the maximum likelihood estimators are derived. Afterward, the observed and expected Fisher’s information matrix are obtained to construct the asymptotic confidence intervals. Meanwhile, the percentile bootstrap method and the bootstrap-t method are put forward for the establishment of confidence intervals. With respect to Bayesian estimation, the Lindley method is used under three different loss functions. The importance sampling method is also applied to calculate Bayesian estimates and construct corresponding highest posterior density (HPD) credible intervals. Finally, numerous simulation studies are conducted on the basis of Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) samples to contrast the performance of the estimations, and an authentic data set is analyzed for exemplifying intention.

This article presents the procedures for the estimation of the parameter of Rayleighdistribution based on Type-II progressive hybrid censored fuzzy lifetime data. Classicalas well as the Bayesian procedures for the estimation of unknown model parameters has been developed. The estimators obtained here are Maximum likelihood (ML) estimator, Method of moments (MM) estimator, Computational approach (CA) estimator and Bayes estimator. Highest posterior density (HPD) credible intervals of the unknown parameter are obtained by using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) technique. For numerical illustration, a real data set has been considered.

The Bayesian estimation approach is a non-classical device in the estimation part of statistical inference which is very useful in real world situation. The main objective of this paper is to study the Bayes estimators of the parameter of Laplace double exponential distribution. In Bayesian estimation loss function, prior distribution and posterior distribution are the most important ingredients. In real life we try to minimize the loss and want to know some prior information about the problem to solve it accurately. The well known conjugate priors are considered for finding the Bayes estimator. In our study we have used different symmetric and asymmetric loss functions such as squared error loss function, quadratic loss function, modified linear exponential (MLINEX) loss function and non-linear exponential (NLINEX) loss function. The performance of the obtained estimators for different types of loss functions are then compared among themselves as well as with the classical maximum likelihood estimator (MLE). Mean Square Error (MSE) of the estimators are also computed and presented in graphs. The Chittagong Univ. J. Sci. 40 : 151-168, 2018

Type Ii Censored Data

In this paper, inference upon stress-strength reliability is considered for unit-Weibull distributions with a common parameter under the assumption that data are observed using progressive type II censoring. We obtain di_erent estimators of system reliability using classical and Bayesian procedures. Asymptotic interval is constructed based on Fisher information matrix. Besides, boot-p and boot-t intervals are also obtained. We evaluate Bayes estimates using Lindley's technique and Metropolis-Hastings (MH) algorithm. The Bayes credible interval is evaluated using MH method. An unbiased estimator of this parametric function is also obtained under know common parameter case. Numerical simulations are performed to compare estimation methods. Finally, a data set is studied for illustration purposes.
