Abstract

In this paper, the estimation of unknown parameters of Chen distribution is considered under progressive Type-II censoring in the presence of competing failure causes. It is assumed that the latent causes of failures have independent Chen distributions with the common shape parameter, but different scale parameters. From a frequentist perspective, the maximum likelihood estimate of parameters via expectation–maximization (EM) algorithm is obtained. Also, the expected Fisher information matrix based on the missing information principle is computed. By using the obtained expected Fisher information matrix of the MLEs, asymptotic 95% confidence intervals for the parameters are constructed. We also apply the bootstrap methods (Bootstrap-p and Bootstrap-t) to construct confidence intervals. From Bayesian aspect, the Bayes estimates of the unknown parameters are computed by applying the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) procedure, the average length and coverage rate of credible intervals are also carried out. The Bayes inference is based on the squared error, LINEX, and general entropy loss functions. The performance of point estimators and confidence intervals is evaluated by a simulation study. Finally, a real-life example is considered for illustrative purposes.
