Bayesian Estimation for the Left Truncated Exponential Lifetime Distribution with Inclusion and Exclusion of an Outlier

  • Published : 1988.11.25

Abstract

It is wellknown that the left truncated exponential distribution with positivity constraint on the location parameter is appropriate as a lifetime distribution model, In this paper, some Bayes estimators of the parameters and reliability for the left truncated exponential lifetime distribution when an unidentified-failure outlier is included and it is excluded in the exchangeable outlier model are proposed, and the performances of these proposed Bayes estimators are also discussed.
