Reliability Analysis and Its Applications for a Newly Improved Type-II Adaptive Progressive Alpha Power Exponential Censored Sample

Abstract

Recently, a newly improved Type-II adaptive progressive censoring plan was devised, which can successfully ensure that the test length will not surpass a particular threshold period. In this study, we explore the statistical inference of the alpha power exponential distribution in the context of improved adaptive progressive Type-II censored data. The parameters, reliability, and hazard functions were estimated from both classical and Bayesian viewpoints using this censoring plan. To begin, we applied the maximum likelihood estimation approach to obtain parameter, reliability, and hazard function estimators. Following that, the approximate confidence intervals for the aforementioned metrics were derived, assuming the asymptotic normality traits of the maximum likelihood estimators. Additionally, by employing the Bayesian method via the Markov chain Monte Carlo technique, the point estimators and highest posterior density intervals of various parameters were created based on the symmetric squared error loss. A simulation study that incorporates numerous scenarios was used to assess the effectiveness of various estimation methodologies. The optimal progressive censorship plans are then discussed based on a set of criteria. Finally, three applications from the engineering and medical domains have been offered as examples.

Estimation and Optimal Censoring Plan for a New Unit Log-Log Model via Improved Adaptive Progressively Censored Data

“…The ratio of integrals in (13) results in the inability to obtain the Bayes estimator ξ(α) in a closed form, as anticipated. We suggest using the MCMC technique to overcome this issue to obtain the required Bayes estimates as well as the HPD credible intervals.…”

“…The IT2-APC plan has not received much attention, according to a review of the literature. Several estimation issues for some lifetime models were examined using the IT2-APC scheme by Nassar and Elshahhat [11], Elshahhat and Nassar [12], Elbatal et al [13], Alam and Nassar [14] and Dutta and Kayal [15]. Let us now assume the observed IT2-APC sample with PSP, denoted, respectively, as x = (x…”

Analysis of the new complementary unit Weibull model from adaptive progressively type-II hybrid

“…An investigator must select the optimal censoring strategy from a variety of alternatives, which is best in terms of providing the most information about the unknown parameters. Identifying an optimal censoring strategy for different contexts has recently been investigated by many researchers, for example, Wang and Yu, 16 Pradhan and Kundu, 17 and Elbatal et al 18 To decide on the optimal progressive censoring plan for the CUW distribution, we consider the following different criteria:…”
