ESTIMATION FOR THE WEIBULL-GEOMETRIC DISTRIBUTION BASED ON CONSTANT PARTIALLY ACCELERATED LIFE TESTS VIA MCMC TECHNIQUE

Document Type : Novel Research Articles

Abstract

In this article, constant partially accelerated life tests are considered. Based on a progressive first-failure censoring scheme, the maximum likelihood and the Bayes estimates for the parameters of the Weibull-Geometric distribution as well as the acceleration parameter are obtained. The Bayes estimates are derived using the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) technique. A Monte Carlo simulation study has been conducted to compare the different estimates.
