Reliability analysis for two populations Nadarajah-Haghighi distribution under Joint progressive type-II censoring

Abstract

<abstract><p>In order to evaluate the competitive advantages and dependability of two products in a competitive environment, comparative lifespan testing becomes essential. We examine the inference problems that occur when two product lines follow the Nadarajah-Haghighighi distribution in the setting of joint type-II censoring. In the present study, we derived the maximum likelihood estimates for the Nadarajah-Haghighi population parameters. Additionally, a Fisher information matrix was constructed based on these maximum likelihood estimations. Furthermore, Bayesian estimators and their corresponding posterior risks were calculated, considering both gamma and non-informative priors under symmetric and asymmetric loss functions. To assess the performance of the overall parameter estimators, we conducted a Monte Carlo simulation using numerical methods. Lastly, a real data analysis was carried out to validate the accuracy of the models and methods discussed.</p></abstract>
