Statistical Estimation for the Weibull Distribution Under Progressive Type-I Interval Censoring with Part-Time Operator
Abstract
In this study, a new life testing method called “progressive type-I
interval censoring with part time operator” is introduced. We obtained the
maximum likelihood estimators for parameters of Weibull distribution. A
simulation study is conducted to investigate the mean biases, mean variances
and MSE (Mean Squared Error)'s of estimates. The results are compared for
sampling progressive type-I interval censored data, part-time operator and
complete data.
