Parameter estimation for Exponential distribution based on doubly type II censoring from imprecise data
Abstract
In the real world, the data sometimes cannot be recorded or collected precisely due to human errors or some unexpected situations. Therefore, the conventional procedures used for estimating the parameters of lifetime distributions under doubly type-II censoring scheme will have to be adopted to the new situation. In this paper, we propose different procedures for estimating the unknown parameter of Exponential distribution on the basis of doubly type-II censoring scheme when the lifetime observations are imprecise quantities. We consider the classical and Bayesian approaches. In the Bayesian setting, we obtain the estimate of the unknown parameter by using the approximation form of Lindley under the assumption of independent gamma prior. The estimation procedures are discussed in detail, and compared via Monte Carlo simulations in terms of their average values and mean squared errors.

We have provided the online access of all issues and papers to the indexing agencies (as given on journal web site). It’s depend on indexing agencies when, how and what manner they can index or not. Hence, we like to inform that on the basis of earlier indexing, we can’t predict the today or future indexing policy of third party (i.e. indexing agencies) as they have right to discontinue any journal at any time without prior information to the journal. So, please neither sends any question nor expects any answer from us on the behalf of third party i.e. indexing agencies.Hence, we will not issue any certificate or letter for indexing issue. Our role is just to provide the online access to them. So we do properly this and one can visit indexing agencies website to get the authentic information. Also: DOI is paid service which provided by a third party. We never mentioned that we go for this for our any journal. However, journal have no objection if author go directly for this paid DOI service.
