AbstractIn the several fields of industries the product comes from more than one production line, which is required to work the comparative life tests. This problem requires sampling of the different production lines, then the joint censoring scheme is appeared. In this article we consider the life time Pareto distribution with jointly type-II censoring scheme. The maximum likelihood estimators (MLE) and the corresponding approximate confidence intervals as well as the bootstrap confidence intervals of the model parameters are obtained. Also Bayesian point and credible intervals of the model parameters are presented. The life time data set is analyzed for illustrative purposes. Monte Carlo results from simulation studies are presented to assess the performance of our proposed method.

Abstract The experiment design may need a stress level higher than use condition which is called accelerate life tests (ALTs). One of the most ALTs appears in different applications in the life testes experiment is partially step stress ALTs. Also, the experiment items is failure with several fatal risk factors, the only one is caused to failure which called competing risk model. In this paper, the partially step-stress ALTs based on Type-II censoring scheme is adopted under the different risk factors belong to Chen lifetime distributions. Under this assumption, we will estimate the model parameters of the different causes with the maximum likelihood method. The two, asymptotic distributions and the parametric bootstrap will be used to build each confidence interval of the model parameters. The precision results will be assessed through Monte Carlo simulation study.

A new generalization of the Frechet distribution called Lehmann Type II Frechet Poisson distribution is defined and studied. Various structural mathematical properties of the proposed model including ordinary moments, incomplete moments, generating functions, order statistics, Renyi entropy, stochastic ordering, Bonferroni and Lorenz curve, mean and median deviation, stress-strength parameter are investigated. The maximum likelihood method is used to estimate the model parameters. We examine the performance of the maximum likelihood method by means of a numerical simulation study. The new distribution is applied for modeling three real data sets to illustrate empirically its flexibility and tractability in modeling life time data.

In this paper, based on an adaptive Type-II progressive censoring scheme, estimation of flexible Weibull extension-Burr XII distribution is discussed. Maximum likelihood estimation and asymptotic confidence intervals of the unknown parameters are obtained. The adaptive Metropolis (AM) method is applied to carry out a Bayesian estimation procedure under symmetric and asymmetric loss functions and calculate the credible intervals. A simulation study is carried out to assess the performance of the estimators. Finally, a real life data set is used for illustration purpose.

In medical studies or in reliability analysis, it is quite common that the failure of any individual or any item may be attributable to more than one cause. So in this paper, we consider the competing risks model with very general censoring scheme, namely progressive first-failure censored scheme under the Gompertz life time distribution. The results in each of first-failure censoring, progressive Type II censoring, Type II censoring and complete sample are a special cases. We provide different methods for the analysis of the model under the assumption of independent causes of failure and Gompertz distribution lifetimes. The maximum likelihood estimators (MLE’s) of the different parameters as well as approximate confidence intervals are presented. Bayesian estimation using MCMC method under the joint prior density as a product of a conditional gamma density and inverted gamma density for unknown Gompertz parameters are presented. The analysis of a real data set to assess the performance of all these estimators, confidence intervals are developed using asymptotic distributions and Bayesian credible intervals for the parameters. The different methods are compared through a simulation study.

We have developed the Bayesian estimation procedure for flexible Weibull distribution under Type-II censoring scheme assuming Jeffrey's scale invariant (noninformative) and Gamma (informative) priors for the model parameters. The interval estimation for the model parameters has been performed through normal approximation, bootstrap, and highest posterior density (HPD) procedures. Further, we have also derived the predictive posteriors and the corresponding predictive survival functions for the future observations based on Type-II censored data from the flexible Weibull distribution. Since the predictive posteriors are not in the closed form, we proposed to use the Monte Carlo Markov chain (MCMC) methods to approximate the posteriors of interest. The performance of the Bayes estimators has also been compared with the classical estimators of the model parameters through the Monte Carlo simulation study. A real data set representing the time between failures of secondary reactor pumps has been analysed for illustration purpose.

In the presented work, a continuous distribution consisting of three-parameters is proposed for life-time data called new exponentiated distribution. The discussion of some of the distribution’s statistical as well as mathematical properties, including the Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF), Probability Density function (PDF), quantile function, survival function, hazard rate function, kurtosis measures and skewness, is conducted. The estimation of the presented distribution’s model parameters is performed using the techniques of Cramer-Von-Mises estimation (CVME), least-square estimation (LSE), and maximum likelihood estimation (MLE). The evaluation of the proposed distribution’s goodness of fit is performed through its fitting in comparison with some of the other existing life-time models with the help of a real data set.

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.

In this paper, the parameters of the extended odd Weibull exponential distribution are estimated under progressive type-II censoring scheme with random removal. The model parameters are estimated using the maximum product spacing and maximum likelihood estimation methods. Further, we explore the asymptotic confidence intervals and bootstrap confidence intervals for the model parameters. Monte Carlo simulations are performed to compare between the proposed estimation methods under progressive type-II censoring scheme. An empirical study using two real datasets form engineering and medicine fields to validate the introduced methods of inference. Based on our study, we can conclude that the maximum product of spacing method outperforms the maximum likelihood method for estimating the extended odd Weibull exponential (EOWE) parameters under a progressive type-II censoring scheme in both numerical and empirical cases.

Empirical research in marketing often is, at least in parts, exploratory. The goal of exploratory research, by definition, extends beyond the empirical calibration of parameters in well established models and includes the empirical assessment of different model specifications. In this context researchers often rely on the statistical information about parameters in a given model to learn about likely model structures. An example is the search for the 'true' set of covariates in a regression model based on confidence intervals of regression coefficients. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate and compare different measures of statistical information about model parameters in the context of a generalized linear model: classical confidence intervals, bootstrapped confidence intervals, and Bayesian posterior credible intervals from a model that adapts its dimensionality as a function of the information in the data. I find that inference from the adaptive Bayesian model dominates that based on classical and bootstrapped intervals in a given model.

In this article, we introduce a new three-parameter distribution called the extended inverse-Gompertz (EIGo) distribution. The implementation of three parameters provides a good reconstruction for some applications. The EIGo distribution can be seen as an extension of the inverted exponential, inverse Gompertz, and generalized inverted exponential distributions. Its failure rate function has an upside-down bathtub shape. Various statistical and reliability properties of the EIGo distribution are discussed. The model parameters are estimated by the maximum-likelihood and Bayesian methods under Type-II censored samples, where the parameters are explained using gamma priors. The performance of the proposed approaches is examined using simulation results. Finally, two real-life engineering data sets are analyzed to illustrate the applicability of the EIGo distribution, showing that it provides better fits than competing inverted models such as inverse-Gompertz, inverse-Weibull, inverse-gamma, generalized inverse-Weibull, exponentiated inverted-Weibull, generalized inverted half-logistic, inverted-Kumaraswamy, inverted Nadarajah–Haghighi, and alpha-power inverse-Weibull distributions.
