| Abstract | ||
| The main object of this article is the estimation of the unknown population parameters and the reliability function for the generalized Bilal model under type-II censored data. Both maximum likelihood and Bayesian estimates are considered. In the Bayesian framework, although we have discussed mainly the squared error loss function, any other loss function can easily be considered. Gibb’s sampling procedure is used to draw Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) samples, which have been used to compute the Bayes estimates and also to construct their corresponding credible intervals with the help of two different importance sampling techniques. A simulation study is carried out to examine the accuracy of the resulting Bayesian estimates and compare them with their corresponding maximum likelihood estimates. Application to a real data set is considered for the sake of illustration | ||
