Abstract | ||||
The problem of maximum likelihood estimation of the three unknown parameters of a non-linear failure rate is discussed using progressive censored type II samples. Maximum likelihood estimates and their approximate asymptotic variance covariance matrix are derived. Some earlier results may be considered as special cases from the present results. Numerical illustration using a numerical example and computer facilities is carried out. | ||||
