ABSTARCT: Most prominent approach used by researchers to study the behavior of the process industry systems, is through stochastic process. However it has been found that implications of stochastic process for system performance were based on exponential distribution and further behavior analysis of process industry is carried on the basis of steady state availability analysis and reliability a...

In applied work, the two-parameter exponential distribution gives useful representations of many physical situations. Confidence interval for the scale parameter and predictive interval for a future independent observation have been studied by many, including Petropoulos 2011 and Lawless 1977 , respectively. However, interval estimates for the threshold parameter have not been widely examined i...

This paper presents estimations of the parameters included in linear exponential distribution, based on grouped and censored data. The methods of maximum likelihood, regression and Bayes are discussed. The maximum likelihood method does not provide closed forms for the estimations, thus numerical procedure is used. The regression estimates of the parameters are used as guess values to get the m...

The present article aims to point and interval estimation of the parameters of generalised exponential distribution (GED) under progressive interval type-I (PITI) censoring scheme with random removals. The considered censoring scheme is most useful in those cases where continuous examination is not possible. Maximum likelihood, expectationmaximization and Bayesian procedures have been developed...
