Pareto Model

In the present study, the Pareto model is considered as the model from which observations are to be estimated using a Bayesian approach. Properties of the Bayes estimators for the unknown parameters have studied by using different asymmetric loss functions on hybrid censoring pattern and their risks have compared. The properties of maximum likelihood estimation and approximate confidence length have also been investigated under hybrid censoring. The performances of the procedures are illustrated based on simulated data obtained under the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm and a real data set.

For the purpose of improving the statistical efficiency of estimators in life-testing experiments, generalized Type-I hybrid censoring has lately been implemented by guaranteeing that experiments only terminate after a certain number of failures appear. With the wide applications of bathtub-shaped distribution in engineering areas and the recently introduced generalized Type-I hybrid censoring scheme, considering that there is no work coalescing this certain type of censoring model with a bathtub-shaped distribution, we consider the parameter inference under generalized Type-I hybrid censoring. First, estimations of the unknown scale parameter and the reliability function are obtained under the Bayesian method based on LINEX and squared error loss functions with a conjugate gamma prior. The comparison of estimations under the E-Bayesian method for different prior distributions and loss functions is analyzed. Additionally, Bayesian and E-Bayesian estimations with two unknown parameters are introduced. Furthermore, to verify the robustness of the estimations above, the Monte Carlo method is introduced for the simulation study. Finally, the application of the discussed inference in practice is illustrated by analyzing a real data set.

In this paper, we have proposed Bayes estimators of shape parameter of Pareto distribution as well as reliability function under SELF, QLF and APLF loss functions. For better understanding of Bayesian approach, we consider Jeffrey’s prior as non-informative prior, exponential and gamma priors as informative priors. The proposed estimators have been compared with Maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) and the uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimator (UMVUE). Moreover, the current study also derives the expressions for risk function under these three loss functions. The results obtained have been illustrated with the real as well as simulated data set.

As it is often unavoidable to obtain incomplete data in life testing and survival analysis, research on censoring data is becoming increasingly popular. In this paper, the problem of estimating the entropy of a two-parameter Lomax distribution based on generalized progressively hybrid censoring is considered. The maximum likelihood estimators of the unknown parameters are derived to estimate the entropy. Further, Bayesian estimates are computed under symmetric and asymmetric loss functions, including squared error, linex, and general entropy loss function. As we cannot obtain analytical Bayesian estimates directly, the Lindley method and the Tierney and Kadane method are applied. A simulation study is conducted and a real data set is analyzed for illustrative purposes.

Our main focus on combining two different approaches, Step-Stress Partially Accelerated Life Test and Type-I Progressive Hybrid censoring criteria in the present article. The fruitfulness of this combination has been investigated by bound lengths for unknown parameters of the Burr Type-XII distribution. Approximate confidence intervals, Bootstrap confidence intervals and One-Sample Bayes prediction bound lengths have been obtained under the above scenario. Particular cases of Type-I Progressive Hybrid censoring (Type-I and Progressive Type-II censoring) has also evaluated under SS-PALT. Optimal stress change time also measured by minimizing the asymptotic variance of ML Estimation. A simulation study based on Metropolis-Hastings algorithm have carried out along with a real data set example.

Inverse Gaussian is a popular distribution especially in the reliability and life time modelling, and thus the estimation of its unknown parameters has received considerable interest. This paper aims to obtain the Bayes estimators for the two parameters of the inverse Gaussian distribution under varied loss functions (squared error, general entropy and linear exponential). In Bayesian procedure, we consider commonly used non-informative priors such as the vague and Jeffrey’s priors, and also propose using the extension of Jeffrey’s prior. In the case where the two parameters are unknown, the Bayes estimators cannot be obtained in the closed-form. Hence, we employ two approximation methods, namely Lindley and Tierney Kadane (TK) approximations, to attain the Bayes estimates of the parameters. In this paper. the effects of considered loss functions, priors and approximation methods on Bayesian parameter estimation are also presented. The performance of Bayes estimates is compared with the corresponding classical estimates in terms of the bias and the relative efficiency throughout an extensive simulation study. The results of the comparison show that Bayes estimators obtained by TK method under linear exponential loss function using the proposed prior outperform the other estimators for estimating the parameters of inverse Gaussian distribution most of the time. Finally, a real data set is provided to illustrate the results.

In this paper, estimation of parameters of Kumaraswamy-exponential distribution with shape parameters α and β is considered based on a progressively type-II censored sample with binomial removals. Together with the unknown parameters, the removal probability p is also estimated. Bayes estimators are obtained using different loss functions such as squared error, LINEX loss function and entropy loss function. All Bayesian estimates are compared with the corresponding maximum likelihood estimates numerically in terms of their bias and mean square error values and found that Bayes estimators perform better than MLE’s for β and p and MLEs perform better than Bayes estimators for α. A real data set is also used for illustration.

In this article, we consider estimation of the parameters of a generalized Pareto distribution and some lifetime indices such as those relating to reliability and hazard rate functions when the failure data are progressive first-failure censored. Both classical and Bayesian techniques are obtained. In the Bayesian framework, the point estimations of unknown parameters under both symmetric and asymmetric loss functions are discussed, after having been estimated using the conjugate gamma and discrete priors for the shape and scale parameters, respectively. In addition, both exact and approximate confidence intervals as well as the exact confidence region for the estimators are constructed. A practical example using a simulated data set is analyzed. Finally, the performance of Bayes estimates is compared with that of maximum likelihood estimates through a Monte Carlo simulation study.
