Description
Summary:This paper investigates statistical inferences for product lifetimes following the inverted modified Lindley distribution, utilizing progressive Type-II censored data. The estimation of model parameters employs the maximum likelihood method, complemented by the construction of approximate confidence intervals. Bayesian estimates are also explored, incorporating squared error and linear exponential loss functions with noninformative priors. To approximate Bayes estimates, the proposal presents Gibbs sampling based on the MCMC algorithm. This results in the generation of the greatest posterior density credible intervals for the parameters. A real data analysis is conducted to validate the accuracy of all the models and methods discussed. Finally, computational studies using Monte Carlo simulations are presented to compare the suggested estimators.
