If the completely observed data are assumed to have full information, the censoring causes the loss of information. Previous studies have introduced the indices of information loss via measuring relative changes between the data with censoring and without censoring. In this paper, the comparisons are made for the information loss between type I and type II censoring in two sample problems.

Type I hybrid censoring scheme is the combination of the Type I and Type II censoring scheme introduced by Epstein (1954). Epstein considered a hybrid censoring sampling scheme in which the life testing experiment is terminated at a random time $T^*$ which is the time that happens rst among the following two; time of the kth unit is observed or time of the experiment length set in advance. The likelihood function of this scheme from the Rayleigh distribution cannot be solved in a explicit solution and thus we approximate the function by the Taylor series expansion. In this process, we propose four dierent methods of expansion skill.

본 논문은 점진 제1종 구간 중도절단표본과 점진 제2종 중도절단표본에서 모수를 추정하는 방법을 소개하고, 점진 제2종 중도절단표본에서 모수를 추정하는 방법을 활용하고자 점진 제1종 구간 중도절단표본에서 얻은 자료를 변환하여 모수를 추정하는 새로운 방법을 제안하였다. 척도모수가 미지인 지수 분포를 따르는 점진 제1종 구간 중도절단표본을 이용하여 점진 제2종 중도절단표본의 최대우도추정량을 사용하여 모수를 추정하였고, 모의실험을 통하여 두 방법에서 구한 추정량을 비교한 결과 본 논문에서 새로 제시한 방법을 이용하여 구한 모수의 추정량이 평균제곱오차 측면에서 더 우수한 추정량임이 나타났다.

일반화 지수분포 (generalized exponential distribution)를 따르는 점진 제 1종 구간 중도절단 (progressive type-I interval censoring) 표본에서 모수 추정은 Chen과 Lio (2010)가 최대우도 추정법 (maximum likelihood estimation), 중간점 근사법 (mid-point approximation method), EM 알고리즘 (expectation maximization algorithm), 적률 추정법 (method of moments estimation; MME)으로 하였으며, 그 방법들 중 평균제곱오차 (mean square error; MSE)가 가장 작은 추정법은 중간점 근사법이다. 하지만 중간점 근사법을 바탕으로 최대우도 추정법을 이용하여 모수를 추정하려고 한다면 모수에 대한 해를 전개할 수 없기 때문에 수치 해석적인 방법을 이용하여 추정하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 근사 최대우도 추정법 (approximate maximum likelihood estimation)을 이용하여 두 종류의 모수를 추정하고, 모의실험을 통하여 수치해석학적인 방법을 이용한 중간점 근사법의 해 (estimate of mid-point approximation method; MP)와 제시한 두 가지 추정량을 평균제곱오차 측면에서 비교한다.

In this paper, we propose some estimators for the extreme value distribution based on the interval method and mid-point approximation method from the progressive Type-I interval censored sample. Because log-likelihood function is a non-linear function, we use a Taylor series expansion to derive approximate likelihood equations. We compare the proposed estimators in terms of the mean squared error by using the Monte Carlo simulation.

We consider the estimation of failure rate and acceleration factor under type-I censoring without using acceleration model when testing is conducted in only one highly accelerated condition. Failure times of an item are assumed to be exponentially distributed. It is also assumed that the uncertainty about the acceleration factor, the failure time contraction ratio between accelerated condition and use condition, can be modeled by the uniform or gamma prior distribution of appropriate parameters. We respectively use Bayes and maximum likelihood approaches to estimate acceleration factor and failure rate in the use condition. An example is given to show how the method can be applied.

In this paper, we derive some estimators of the scale parameter of the exponentiated half-logistic distribution based on the multiply Type-I hybrid censoring scheme. We assume that the shape parameter λ is known. We obtain the maximum likelihood estimator of the scale parameter σ. The scale parameter is estimated by approximating the given likelihood function using two different Taylor series expansions since the likelihood equation is not explicitly solved. We also obtain Bayes estimators using prior distribution. To obtain the Bayes estimators, we use the squared error loss function and general entropy loss function (shape parameter q = -0.5, 1.0). We also derive interval estimation such as the asymptotic confidence interval, the credible interval, and the highest posterior density interval. Finally, we compare the proposed estimators in the sense of the mean squared error through Monte Carlo simulation. The average length of 95% intervals and the corresponding coverage probability are also obtained.

In this paper, two estimation methods(least square estimation and maximum likelihood estimation) were compared for Weibull distribution and Type I censoring. Data obtained by Monte Carlo simulation were analyzed using two estimation methods and analysis results were compared by MSE(Mean Squared Error). Comparison results show that maximum likelihood estimator is better for censored data and complete data with more than 30 samples and least square estimator is better for small size complete data(less than and equal to 20 samples).

Entropy is an important term in statistical mechanics that was originally defined in the second law of thermodynamics. In this paper, we consider the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE), maximum product spacings estimation (MPSE) and Bayesian estimation of the entropy of an inverse Weibull distribution (InW) under a generalized type I progressive hybrid censoring scheme (GePH). The MLE and MPSE of the entropy cannot be obtained in closed form; therefore, we propose using the Newton-Raphson algorithm to solve it. Further, the Bayesian estimators for the entropy of InW based on squared error loss function (SqL), precautionary loss function (PrL), general entropy loss function (GeL) and linex loss function (LiL) are derived. In addition, we derive the Lindley's approximate method (LiA) of the Bayesian estimates. Monte Carlo simulations are conducted to compare the results among MLE, MPSE, and Bayesian estimators. A real data set based on the GePH is also analyzed for illustrative purposes.

The exponential distibution is one of the most popular distributions in analyzing the lifetime data. In this paper, we propose multiply Type I hybrid censoring. And this paper presents the statistical inference on the scale parameter for the exponential distribution when samples are multiply Type I hybrid censoring. The scale parameter is estimated by approximate maximum likelihood estimation methods using two different Taylor series expansion types ($AMLE_I$, $AMLE_{II}$). We also obtain the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of the scale parameter ${\sigma}$ under the proposed multiply Type I hybrid censored samples. We compare the estimators in the sense of the root mean square error (RMSE). The simulation procedure is repeated 10,000 times for the sample size n=20 and 40 and various censored schemes. The $AMLE_{II}$ is better than $AMLE_I$ in the sense of the RMSE.
