In order to estimate the mean and variance for a Normal distribution which is truncated at both right and left sides, maximum likelihood estimators based on the entire sample from the original distribution are compared with the sample mean and variance of the censored sample which is the data remaining after truncation using simulation. We found that, surprisingly, the mean squared error of the mean based on the censored data Is smaller than that of the full sample estimators.

The maximum likelihood method does not admit explicit solutions when the sample is multiply censored and progressive censored. So we shall propose some approximate maximum likelihood estimators (AMLEs) of the scale parameter for the power function distribution based on multiply Type-II censored samples and progressive Type-II censored samples when shape parameter is known. We compare the proposed estimators in the sense of the mean squared error (MSE) through Monte Carlo simulation for various censoring schemes.

By assuming a Type-I censored sample, we propose the approximate maximum likelihood estimators(AMLE) of the scale and location parameters of the gamma distribution. We compare the proposed estimators with the maximum likelihood estimators(MLE) in the sense of the mean squared errors(MSE) through Monte Carlo method.

We propose some estimators of the location parameter and derive the approximate maximum likelihood estimators (AMLEs) of the scale parameter in the exponential distribution based on multiply Type-II censored samples. We calculate the moments for the proposed estimators of the location parameter, and the AMLEs which are the linear functions of the order statistics. We compare the proposed estimators in the sense of the mean squared error (MSE) for various censored samples.

For multiply Type-II censored samples from two-parameter Rayleigh distribution, the maximum likelihood method does not admit explicit solutions. In this case, we propose some explicit estimators of the location and scale parameters in the Rayleigh distribution by the approximate maximum likelihood methods. We compare the proposed estimators in the sense of the mean squared error for various censored samples.

When the available sample is multiply Type-II censored, the maximum likelihood estimators of the location and the scale parameters of two- parameter exponential distribution do not admit explicitly. In this case, we propose some estimators which are linear functions of the order statistics and also propose some estimators by approximating the likelihood equations appropriately. We compare the proposed estimators by the mean squared errors.

This paper considers the estimation of the parameters of a normal population from which a sample which has been censored at a known point is obtained. Simple estimators are presented which are given in closed forms. It is shown that maximum likelihood estimators are obtained by using the estimation procedure iteratively. Some computer simulation results are given.

In this paper, we consider maximum likelihood estimators of the location and scale parameters for the half-logistic distribution when samples are multiply Type I hybrid censored. The scale parameter is estimated by approximate maximum likelihood estimation methods using two different Taylor series expansion types ($\hat{\sigma}_I$, $\hat{\sigma}_{II}$). We compare the estimators in the sense of the root mean square error (RMSE). The simulation procedure is repeated 10,000 times for the sample size n=20 and 40 and various censored schemes. The approximate MLE of the second type is better than that of the first type in the sense of the RMSE. Further an illustrative example with the real data is presented.

This paper deals with the problem of obtaining some Bayes estimators of exponential reliability in a time censored sampling with incomplete information. Some Bayes estimators are proposed and studied under squared error loss and Harris loss.
