Abstract

In this paper, the maximum likelihood and Bayesian estimations are developed based on the pooled sample of two independent Type-II censored samples from the left truncated exponential distribution. The Bayesian estimation is discussed using different loss functions. The problem of predicting the failure times from a future sample from the sample population is also discussed from a Bayesian viewpoint. A Monte Carlo simulation study is conducted to compare the maximum likelihood estimator with the Bayesian estimators. Finally, an illustrative example is presented to demonstrate the different inference methods discussed here.
