This paper considers a life test under progressive type I group censoring with a Weibull failure time distribution. The maximum likelihood method is used to derive the estimators of the parameters of the failure time distribution. In practice, several variables, such as the number of test units,...

This study considers the estimation problem for the Pareto distribution based on progressive Type II censoring with random removals. The number of units removed at each failure time has a discrete uniform distribution. We are going to use the maximum likelihood method to obtain the estimator of...
