Using SAS Macros to Develop Confidence Intervals for the Weibull and Extreme Value Distribution Using Type II Censored Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Weibull distribution has wide applications, particularly in life distribution. There exists a large body of literature on statistical methods based on the Weibull distribution, but most of the methods require numerical integration or Monte Carlo methods to develop the confidence intervals for model parameters. The reason for the large volume of methods revolves around the fact that there is no two-dimensional sufficient statistic for the shape and scale parameters, and therefore the possibilities of producing estimators are many.

Bayes Interval Estimation on the Parameters of the Weibull Distribution for Complete and Censored Tests
A method for constructing confidence intervals on parameters of a continuous probability distribution is developed in this paper. The objective is to present a model for an uncertainty represented by parameters of a probability density function. As an application, confidence intervals for the two parameters of the Weibull distribution along with their joint confidence interval are derived. The...
متن کاملEstimation for the Type-II Extreme Value Distribution Based on Progressive Type-II Censoring
In this paper, we discuss the statistical inference on the unknown parameters and reliability function of type-II extreme value (EVII) distribution when the observed data are progressively type-II censored. By applying EM algorithm, we obtain maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs). We also suggest approximate maximum likelihood estimators (AMLEs), which have explicit expressions. We provide Bayes ...

This paper presents the statistical inference on the parameters of the Burr type III distribution, when the data are Type-II hybrid censored. The maximum likelihood estimators are developed for the unknown parameters using the EM algorithm method. We provided the observed Fisher information matrix using the missing information principle which is useful for constructing the asymptotic confidence...
متن کاملComparison of three Estimation Procedures for Weibull Distribution based on Progressive Type II Right Censored Data
In this paper, based on the progressive type II right censored data, we consider estimates of MLE and AMLE of scale and shape parameters of weibull distribution. Also a new type of parameter estimation, named inverse estimation, is introdued for both shape and scale parameters of weibull distribution which is used from order statistics properties in it. We use simulations and study the biases a...
متن کاملNon-Bayesian Estimation and Prediction under Weibull Interval Censored Data
In this paper, a one-sample point predictor of the random variable X is studied. X is the occurrence of an event in any successive visits $L_i$ and $R_i$ :i=1,2…,n (interval censoring). Our proposed method is based on finding the expected value of the conditional distribution of X given $L_i$ and $R_i$ (i=1,2…,n). To make the desired prediction, our approach is on the basis of approximating the...
