Parameter estimations for mixed generalized exponential distribution based on progressive type-I interval censoring. (English) Zbl 1426.62294
Summary: This paper considers the estimation of parameters based on a progressively type-I interval-censored data from a mixed generalized exponential distribution. The maximum likelihood estimation is used but an analytic form cannot be obtained. The EM algorithm is applied to obtain the maximum likelihood estimates. The performance of the estimates is judged by a simulating study and a real data is presented to illustrate the method of estimation developed here.
