This article investigates the estimation of the parameters for power hazard function distribution and some lifetime indices such as reliability function, hazard rate function, and coefficient of variation based on adaptive Type-II progressive censoring. From the perspective of frequentism, we derive the point estimations through the method of maximum likelihood estimation. Besides, delta method is implemented to construct the variances of the reliability characteristics. Markov chain Monte Carlo techniques are proposed to construct the Bayes estimates. To this end, the results of the Bayes estimates are obtained under squared error and linear exponential loss functions. Also, the corresponding credible intervals are constructed. A simulation study is utilized to assay the performance of the proposed methods. Finally, a real data set of COVID-19 mortality rate is analyzed to validate the introduced inference methods.
