Estimation for the Weibull Distribution Based on Censored Samples

  • Published : 2005.11.30

Abstract

We consider the problem of estimating the scale and shape parameters in the Weibull distribution based on censored samples. We propose the approximate maximum likelihood estimators (AMLEs) of the scale and shape parameters in the Weibull distribution based on Type-II censored samples. We compare the proposed estimators in the sense of the mean squared error (MSE).
