ESTIMATIONS OF THE PARAMETERS OF THE WEIBULL DISTRIBUTION WITH PROGRESSIVELY CENSORED DATA

Abstract

In this paper, we use the setup proposed by Balakrishnan and Aggarwala to compute approximate best linear unbiased estimates (ABLUEs) of the location and scale parameters of the Weibull distribution. Further, we derive approximate maximum likelihood estimates (AMLEs) of the location and scale parameters of the Weibull distribution. Finally, we carry out a simulation study to compare between the techniques considered for the estimation.
