“…Toker et al
36 developed the following censored log‐likelihood function by adding a penalization term to Equation ()
where
is a Lagrangian multiplier,
is the Liu biasing parameter in the interval
and
is the T‐MLE attained in the final iteration. Although Toker et al
36 took the interval of
as
, this interval can be extended to
(see
26,57 ). With the help of Equation (), they obtained the final form of the T‐LE as
