Based on joint progressive Type-II censored data, we examined the statistical inference of the generalized logistic distribution with different shape and scale parameters in this research. Wherever possible, we explored maximum likelihood estimators for unknown parameters within the scope of the joint progressive censoring scheme. Bayesian inferences for these parameters were demonstrated using a Gamma prior under the squared error loss function and the linear exponential loss function. It was important to note that obtaining Bayes estimators and the corresponding credible intervals was not straightforward; thus, we recommended using the Markov Chain Monte Carlo method to compute them. We performed real-world data analysis for demonstrative purposes and ran Monte Carlo simulations to compare the performance of all the suggested approaches.

In order to evaluate the competitive advantages and dependability of two products in a competitive environment, comparative lifespan testing becomes essential. We examine the inference problems that occur when two product lines follow the Nadarajah-Haghighighi distribution in the setting of joint type-II censoring. In the present study, we derived the maximum likelihood estimates for the Nadarajah-Haghighi population parameters. Additionally, a Fisher information matrix was constructed based on these maximum likelihood estimations. Furthermore, Bayesian estimators and their corresponding posterior risks were calculated, considering both gamma and non-informative priors under symmetric and asymmetric loss functions. To assess the performance of the overall parameter estimators, we conducted a Monte Carlo simulation using numerical methods. Lastly, a real data analysis was carried out to validate the accuracy of the models and methods discussed.

In survival analysis and reliability engineering, censoring schemes play a crucial role in efficient data collection and analysis. This study investigated the unified hybrid censoring scheme (UHCS), a versatile framework that integrates multiple censoring strategies, to evaluate the suitability of the Weighted Lindley (WL) distribution for modeling lifetime data. Maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs) and their corresponding asymptotic confidence intervals are derived for the parameters of the WL distribution. In the Bayesian framework, parameter estimation was performed under a squared error loss function. A detailed Monte Carlo simulation study was conducted to compare the performance of classical and Bayesian estimators across various sample sizes and censoring schemes. The simulation results revealed that Bayesian estimators consistently yielded lower mean squared errors (MSEs) than their classical counterparts, and the associated credible intervals were generally narrower than the frequentist confidence intervals. To demonstrate the practical applicability of the proposed methods, the analysis was applied to real-world survival datasets. The results highlighted the effectiveness of the WL distribution under UHCS, offering valuable insights for researchers and practitioners in reliability and survival analysis.
