Based on hybrid censored data, the problem of making statistical inference on parameters of a two parameter Burr Type XII distribution is taken up. The maximum likelihood estimates are developed for the unknown parameters using the EM algorithm. Fisher information matrix is obtained by applying...

The problem of estimating unknown parameters of a two-parameter distribution with bathtub shape is considered under the assumption that samples are hybrid censored. The maximum likelihood estimates are obtained using an EM algorithm. The Fisher information matrix is obtained as well and the...
