Abstract: | This paper addresses the estimation for the unknown scale parameter of the half-logistic distribution based on a Type-I progressively hybrid censoring scheme. We evaluate the maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) via numerical method, and EM algorithm, and also the approximate maximum likelihood estimate (AMLE). We use a modified acceptance rejection method to obtain the Bayes estimate and corresponding highest posterior confidence intervals. We perform Monte Carlo simulations to compare the performances of the different methods, and we analyze one dataset for illustrative purposes. |
