Abstract
Generalized progressive hybrid censored procedures are created to reduce test time and expenses. This paper investigates the issue of estimating the model parameters, reliability, and hazard rate functions of the Frechet (Fr) distribution under generalized Type-II progressive hybrid censoring by making use of the Bayesian estimation and maximum likelihood methods. The appropriate estimated confidence intervals of unknown quantities are likewise built using the frequentist estimators' normal approximations. The Bayesian estimators are created using independent gamma conjugate priors under the symmetrical squared-error loss. The Bayesian estimators and the associated greatest posterior density intervals cannot be computed analytically since the joint likelihood function is obtained in complex form, but they may be assessed using Monte Carlo Markov chain (MCMC) techniques. Via extensive Monte Carlo simulations, the actual behavior of the proposed estimation methodologies is evaluated. Four optimality criteria are used to choose the best censoring scheme out of all the options. To demonstrate how the suggested approaches may be utilized in real scenarios, two real applications reflecting the thirty successive values of precipitation in Minneapolis-Saint Paul for the month of March as well as the number of vehicle fatalities for thirty-nine counties in South Carolina during 2012 are examined.
