Statistical inference with joint progressive censoring for two populations using power Rayleigh lifetime distribution

Sci Rep. 2023 Mar 7;13(1):3832. doi: 10.1038/s41598-023-30392-7.

Abstract

In this study, point and interval estimations for the power Rayleigh distribution are derived using the joint progressive type-II censoring technique. The maximum likelihood and Bayes methods are used to estimate the two distributional parameters. The estimators' approximate credible intervals and confidence intervals have also been determined. The Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method is used to provide the findings of Bayes estimators for squared error loss and linear exponential loss functions. The Metropolis-Hasting technique uses Gibbs to generate MCMC samples from the posterior density functions. A real data set is used to show off the suggested approaches. Finally, in order to compare the results of various approaches, a simulation study is performed.
