Statistical inference for the information entropy of the log-logistic distribution under progressive type-I interval censoring schemes

Abstract

In recent years, information entropy has been studied and developed rapidly across disciplines as a measure of information value. In this article, the maximum likelihood estimation and EM algorithm are used to estimate the parameters of the log-logistic distribution for progressive type-I interval censored data, and the hypothesis testing algorithm of information entropy is proposed. Finally, Monte Carlo numerical simulations are conducted to justify the feasibility of the algorithm.
