Classical and Bayesian Inference on Finite Mixture of Exponentiated Kumaraswamy Gompertz and Exponentiated Kumaraswamy Fréchet Distributions under Progressive Type II Censoring with Applications

Abstract

A finite mixture of exponentiated Kumaraswamy Gompertz and exponentiated Kumaraswamy Fréchet is developed and discussed as a novel probability model. We study some useful structural properties of the proposed model. To estimate the model parameters under the classical method, we use the maximum likelihood estimation using a progressive type II censoring scheme. Under the Bayesian paradigm the estimation is carried out with gamma priors under a progressive type II censored samples with squared error loss function. To demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed model based on progressively type II censoring, a simulation study is carried out. Three actual data sets are used as an example, demonstrating that the suggested model in the new class fits better than the existing finite mixture models available in the literature.
