Estimation for the Half Logistic Distribution Based on Double Hybrid Censored Samples

Abstract

Many articles have considered a hybrid censoring scheme, which is a mixture of Type-I and Type-II censoring schemes. We introduce a double hybrid censoring scheme and derive some approximate maximum likelihood estimators(AMLEs) of the scale parameter σ for the half logistic distribution under the proposed double hybrid censored samples. The scale parameter is estimated by approximate maximum likelihood estimation method using two different Taylor series expansion types. We also obtain the maximum likelihood estimator(MLE) and the least square estimator(LSE) of the scale parameter σ under the proposed double hybrid censored samples. We compare the proposed estimators in the sense of the mean squared error. The simulation procedure is repeated 10,000 times for the sample size n = 20(10)40 and various censored samples. The performances of the AMLEs and MLE are very similar in all aspects but the MLE and LSE have not a closed-form expression, some numerical method must be employed.

Predictions for Progressively Type-II Censored Failure Times from the Half Triangle Distribution

“…Han and Kang (2008) proposed some approximate maximum likelihood estimators (AMLEs) for the scale parameter in HTD based on progressively Type-II censored samples. Kang et al (2009) presented methods to derive explicit estimators for the scale parameter in HTD by the approximation of the likelihood equation based on Type-I hybrid censored samples.…”

An Analysis of Record Statistics based on an Exponentiated Gumbel Model

“…Therefore, we will derive the approximate MLE (AMLE) of σ by using the approximate profile likelihood equation. A number of studies have considered the AMLE (see Kang et al, 2009;Kang and Seo, 2011).…”

Estimation for Two-Parameter Generalized Exponential Distribution Based on Records

“…Therefore, we derive the AMLE of σ by solving the approximate profile likelihood equation. Many studies have considered AMLEs (e.g., Kang et al, 2009;Kang and Seo, 2011).…”
