Estimating the accurate evaluation of product lifetime performance has always been a hot topic in manufacturing industry. This paper, based on the lifetime performance index, focuses on its evaluation when a lower specification limit is given. The progressive first-failure-censored data we discuss have a common log-logistic distribution. Both Bayesian and non-Bayesian method are studied. Bayes estimator of the parameters of the log-logistic distribution and the lifetime performance index are obtained using both the Lindley approximation and Monte Carlo Markov Chain methods under symmetric and asymmetric loss functions. As for interval estimation, we apply the maximum likelihood estimator to construct the asymptotic confidence intervals and the Metropolis–Hastings algorithm to establish the highest posterior density credible intervals. Moreover, we analyze a real data set for demonstrative purposes. In addition, different criteria for deciding the optimal censoring scheme have been studied.

In this paper, Bayesian and non-Bayesian estimation of the inverted Topp-Leone distribution shape parameter are studied when the sample is complete and random censored. The maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) and Bayes estimator of the unknown parameter are proposed. The Bayes estimates (BEs) have been computed based on the squared error loss (SEL) function and using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) techniques. The asymptotic, bootstrap (p,t), and highest posterior density intervals are computed. The Metropolis Hasting algorithm is proposed for Bayes estimates. Monte Carlo simulation is performed to compare the performances of the proposed methods and one real data set has been analyzed for illustrative purposes.

In this paper  we study the reliability of a multicomponent stress-strength model assuming that the components follow power Lindley model.  The maximum likelihood estimate of the reliability parameter and its asymptotic confidence interval are obtained. Applying the parametric Bootstrap technique, interval estimation of the reliability is presented.  Also, the Bayes estimate and highest posterior density credible interval of the reliability parameter are derived using suitable priors on the parameters. Because there is no closed form for the Bayes estimate, we use the Markov Chain Monte Carlo method to obtain approximate Bayes  estimate of the reliability. To evaluate the performances of different procedures,  simulation studies are conducted and an example of real data sets is provided.

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.

Entropy is an uncertainty measure of random variables which mathematically represents the prospective quantity of the information. In this paper, we mainly focus on the estimation for the parameters and entropy of an Inverse Weibull distribution under progressive first-failure censoring using classical (Maximum Likelihood) and Bayesian methods. For Bayesian approaches, the Bayesian estimates are obtained based on both asymmetric (General Entropy, Linex) and symmetric (Squared Error) loss functions. Due to the complex form of Bayes estimates, we cannot get an explicit solution. Therefore, the Lindley method as well as Importance Sampling procedure is applied. Furthermore, using Importance Sampling method, the Highest Posterior Density credible intervals of entropy are constructed. As a comparison, the asymptotic intervals of entropy are also gained. Finally, a simulation study is implemented and a real data set analysis is performed to apply the previous methods.

Truncated type I generalized logistic distribution has been used in a variety of applications. In this article, a new bivariate truncated type I generalized logistic (BTTGL) distributional models driven from three different copula functions are introduced. A study of some properties is illustrated. Parametric and semiparametric methods are used to estimate the parameters of the BTTGL models. Maximum likelihood and inference function for margin estimates of the BTTGL parameters are compared with semiparametric estimates using real data set. Further, a comparison between BTTGL, bivariate generalized exponential and bivariate exponentiated Weibull models is conducted using Akaike information criterion and the maximized log-likelihood. Extensive Monte Carlo simulation study is carried out for different values of the parameters and different sample sizes to compare the performance of parametric and semiparametric estimators based on relative mean square error.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to compare various methods of estimation of P(X<Y) based on Type-II censored data, where X and Y represent a quality characteristic of interest for two groups. Design/methodology/approach This paper assumes that both X and Y are independently distributed generalized half logistic random variables. The maximum likelihood estimator and the uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimator of R are obtained based on Type-II censored data. An exact 95 percent maximum likelihood estimate-based confidence interval for R is also provided. Next, various Bayesian point and interval estimators are obtained using both the subjective and non-informative priors. A real life data set is analyzed for illustration. Findings The performance of various point and interval estimators is judged through a detailed simulation study. The finite sample properties of the estimators are found to be satisfactory. It is observed that the posterior mean marginally outperform other estimators with respect to the mean squared error even under the non-informative prior. Originality/value The proposed methodology can be used for comparing two groups with respect to a suitable quality characteristic of interest. It can also be applied for estimation of the stress-strength reliability, which is of particular interest to the reliability engineers.

In this paper, the Bayesian and non-Bayesian estimation of a two-parameter Weibull lifetime model in presence of progressive first-failure censored data with binomial random removals are considered. Based on the s-normal approximation to the asymptotic distribution of maximum likelihood estimators, two-sided approximate confidence intervals for the unknown parameters are constructed. Using gamma conjugate priors, several Bayes estimates and associated credible intervals are obtained relative to the squared error loss function. Proposed estimators cannot be expressed in closed forms and can be evaluated numerically by some suitable iterative procedure. A Bayesian approach is developed using Markov chain Monte Carlo techniques to generate samples from the posterior distributions and in turn computing the Bayes estimates and associated credible intervals. To analyze the performance of the proposed estimators, a Monte Carlo simulation study is conducted. Finally, a real data set is discussed for illustration purposes.

Family Of Distributions

We proposed a new family of distributions from a half logistic model called the generalized odd half logistic family. We expressed its density function as a linear combination of exponentiated densities. We calculate some statistical properties as the moments, probability weighted moment, quantile and order statistics. Two new special models are mentioned. We study the estimation of the parameters for the odd generalized half logistic exponential and the odd generalized half logistic Rayleigh models by using maximum likelihood method. One real data set is assesed to illustrate the usefulness of the subject family.

In this study, we have introduced a three-parameter probabilistic model established from type I half logistic-Generating family called half logistic modified exponential distribution. The mathematical and statistical properties of this distribution are also explored. The behavior of probability density, hazard rate, and quantile functions are investigated. The model parameters are estimated using the three well known estimation methods namely maximum likelihood estimation (MLE), least-square estimation (LSE) and Cramer-Von-Mises estimation (CVME) methods. Further, we have taken a real data set and verified that the presented model is quite useful and more flexible for dealing with a real data set.
