Discriminating between the Lognormal and Weibull Distributions under Progressive Censoring

Abstract

In this paper, the ratio of maximized likelihood and Minimized Kullback-Leibler Divergence methods are discussed for discrimination between log-normal and Weibull distributions. The progressive Type-II right censored sample is considered in the study. The probability of correct selections is simulated and compared to investigate the performance of the procedures for different censoring schemes and parameter settings.
