E-Bayesian Estimation for the Weibull Distribution under Adaptive Type-I Progressive Hybrid Censored Competing Risks Data

This article focuses on using E-Bayesian estimation for the Weibull distribution based on adaptive type-I progressive hybrid censored competing risks (AT-I PHCS). The case of Weibull distribution for the underlying lifetimes is considered assuming a cumulative exposure model. The E-Bayesian estimation is discussed by considering three different prior distributions for the hyper-parameters. The E-Bayesian estimators as well as the corresponding E-mean square errors are obtained by using squared and LINEX loss functions. Some properties of the E-Bayesian estimators are also derived. A simulation study to compare the various estimators and real data application is applied to show the applicability of the different estimators are proposed.
