One-sample Bayesian prediction intervals based on progressively type-II censored data from the half-logistic distribution under progressive stress model

Utilizing Bayesian inference in accelerated testing models under constant stress via ordered ranked set sampling and hybrid censoring with practical validation

This research investigates the application of the ordered ranked set sampling (ORSSA) procedure in constant-stress partially accelerated life-testing (CSPALTE). The study adopts the assumption that the lifespan of a specific item under operational stress follows a half-logistic probability distribution. Through Bayesian estimation methods, it concentrates on estimating the parameters, utilizing both asymmetric loss function and symmetric loss function. Estimations are conducted using ORSSAs and simple random samples, incorporating hybrid censoring of type-I. Real-world data sets are utilized to offer practical context and validate the theoretical discoveries, providing concrete insights into the research findings. Furthermore, a rigorous simulation study, supported by precise numerical calculations, is meticulously conducted to gauge the Bayesian estimation performance across the two distinct sampling methodologies. This research ultimately sheds light on the efficacy of Bayesian estimation techniques under varying sampling strategies, contributing to the broader understanding of reliability analysis in CSPALTE scenarios.

Inference for a Progressive-Stress Model Based on Ordered Ranked Set Sampling under Type-II Censoring

The progressive-stress accelerated life test is discussed under the ordered ranked set sampling procedure. It is assumed that the lifetime of an item under use stress is exponentially distributed and the law of inverse power is considered as the relationship between the scale parameter and the applied stress. The involved parameters are estimated using the Bayesian technique, under symmetric and asymmetric loss functions, based on ordered ranked set samples and simple random samples subject to type-II censoring. Real and simulated data sets are used to illustrate the theoretical results presented in this paper. Finally, a simulation study followed by numerical calculations is performed to evaluate the Bayesian estimation performance based on the two sampling types.

Inference for a Kavya–Manoharan Inverse Length Biased Exponential Distribution under Progressive-Stress Model Based on Progressive Type-II Censoring

In this article, a new one parameter survival model is proposed using the Kavya–Manoharan (KM) transformation family and the inverse length biased exponential (ILBE) distribution. Statistical properties are obtained: quantiles, moments, incomplete moments and moment generating function. Different types of entropies such as Rényi entropy, Tsallis entropy, Havrda and Charvat entropy and Arimoto entropy are computed. Different measures of extropy such as extropy, cumulative residual extropy and the negative cumulative residual extropy are computed. When the lifetime of the item under use is assumed to follow the Kavya–Manoharan inverse length biased exponential (KMILBE) distribution, the progressive-stress accelerated life tests are considered. Some estimating approaches, such as the maximum likelihood, maximum product of spacing, least squares, and weighted least square estimations, are taken into account while using progressive type-II censoring. Furthermore, interval estimation is accomplished by determining the parameters’ approximate confidence intervals. The performance of the estimation approaches is investigated using Monte Carlo simulation. The relevance and flexibility of the model are demonstrated using two real datasets. The distribution is very flexible, and it outperforms many known distributions such as the inverse length biased, the inverse Lindley model, the Lindley, the inverse exponential, the sine inverse exponential and the sine inverse Rayleigh model.

Accelerated Life Tests under Pareto-IV Lifetime Distribution: Real Data Application and Simulation Study

In this article, a progressive-stress accelerated life test (ALT) that is based on progressive type-II censoring is studied. The cumulative exposure model is used when the lifetime of test units follows Pareto-IV distribution. Different estimates as the maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs) and Bayes estimates (BEs) for the model parameters are discussed. Bayesian estimates are derived while using the Tierney and Kadane (TK) approximation method and the importance sampling method. The asymptotic and bootstrap confidence intervals (CIs) of the parameters are constructed. A real data set is analyzed in order to clarify the methods proposed through this paper. Two types of the progressive-stress tests, the simple ramp-stress test and multiple ramp-stress test, are compared through the simulation study. Finally, some interesting conclusions are drawn.

Parameter Estimation of Lindley Distribution Based on Progressive Type-II Censored Competing Risks Data with Binomial Removals

The competing risk model based on Lindley distribution is discussed under the progressive type-II censored sample data with binomial removals. The maximum likelihood estimation of the unknown parameters of the distribution is established. Using the Lindley approximation method, we also obtain the Bayesian estimation of the unknown parameters of the distribution under different loss functions. The performance of different estimates is studied in this article. A real practical dataset is analyzed for illustration.
