This paper considers the parameter estimation problem of test units from Poisson-Exponential distribution based on progressively type II right censoring scheme. The maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) for Poisson-Exponential parameters are derived using Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm. EM-algorithm is also used to obtain the estimates as well as the asymptotic variance-covariance matrix. By using the obtained variance-covariance matrix of the MLEs, the asymptotic 95% confidence interval for the parameters are constructed. Through simulation, the behavior of these estimates are studied and compared under different censoring schemes and parameter values. It is concluded that for an increasing sample size; the estimated value of the parameters converges to the true value, the variances decrease and the width of the confidence interval become narrower.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
