Abstract

In this paper, we derive the approximate maximum likelihood estimators(AMLEs) and maximum likelihood estimator of the scale parameter in a triangular distribution based on progressive Type-II censored samples. We compare the proposed estimators in the sense of the mean squared error through Monte Carlo simulation for various progressive censoring schemes.
