On Predictive Inference from the Compound Rayleigh Model Based on Censored Samples

The purpose of this paper is to derive the predictive inference for future responses from the compound Rayleigh model based on censored samples. The predictive density for a single future response, ith future response, and m future responses are derived on the basis of a type II as well as doubly censored sample. Two numerical examples are considered to illustrate the results. First example deals with a real data set that represents the survival times of 46 patients given chemotherapy treatment. The second example is the doubly censored sample of the heart transplantation surgery patients. Both examples are utilized to illustrate the predictive results. The highest predictive density intervals are determined for a single future response.
