Abstract

In this paper, a competing risks model with dependent causes of failure is considered under left-truncated and right-censoring scenario. When the dependent failure causes follow a Marshall–Olkin bivariate exponential distribution, estimation of model parameters and reliability indices are proposed from classic and Bayesian approaches, respectively. Maximum likelihood estimators and approximate confidence intervals are constructed, and conventional Bayesian point and interval estimations are discussed as well. In addition, E-Bayesian estimators are proposed and their asymptotic behaviors have been investigated. Further, another objective-Bayesian analysis is also proposed when a noninformative probability matching prior is used. Finally, extensive simulation studies are carried out to investigate the performance of different methods. Two real data examples are presented to illustrate the applicability.
