Transmuted distributions are skewed distributions and recently attracted a great attention of researchers due to their applications in reliability and statistics. In this article, our main focus is on the Bayesian estimation of two-component mixture of the Transmuted Weibull Distribution (TWD) under type-I right censored sampling scheme. In order to estimate the unknown parameters, non-informative and informative priors under Squared Error Loss Function (SELF), Precautionary Loss Function (PLF) and Quadratic Loss Function (QLF) are assumed when computing the posterior estimations. In addition, the Bayesian credible intervals (BCI) are also constructed. A Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) technique is adopted to generate samples from the posterior distributions and in turn computing different posterior summaries, including Bayes estimates (BEs), posterior risks (PRs) and Bayesian credible intervals (BCI). As an illustration, comparison of these Bayes estimators is made through simulated under different loss functions in terms of their respective posterior risks assuming different sample sizes and censoring rates. Two real-life examples, the first being the survival times of hepatitis B & C patients while the second being the hole diameter of 12 mm and the sheet thickness is 3.15 mm, are also discussed to illustrate the potential application of the proposed methodology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
