This study introduces a likelihood-based approach for estimating the shape parameter of a two-parameter Weibull distribution using Type 2 censored data. The findings offer insights into the effectiveness of these statistical inference methods.

Area of Science:

  • Statistics
  • Probability Theory
  • Reliability Engineering

Background:

  • The Weibull distribution is widely used in reliability and survival analysis.
  • Parameter estimation for Weibull distributions with censored data presents statistical challenges.
  • Likelihood-based methods are fundamental tools for statistical inference.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate likelihood-based inference methods for the shape parameter (gamma) of a two-parameter Weibull distribution.
  • To specifically derive profile, conditional, and marginal likelihoods for gamma.
  • To provide numerical evidence supporting the application of these methods.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a Type 2 censored sample for the analysis.
  • Employed a likelihood-based approach for parameter estimation.
