As a result of the adaptability in fitting time-to-failure of a very widespread multiplicity to multifaceted mechanisms, the Weibull distribution has assumed the centre stage especially in the field of life-testing and reliability/survival analysis. It has shown to be very useful for modeling and analyzing life time data in medical, biological and engineering sciences, Lawless [17]. Much of the attractiveness of the Weibull distribution is due to the wide variety of shapes it can assume by altering its parameters. According to [19], "A data sample is said to be censored when, either by accident or design, the value of the variables under investigation is unobserved for some of the items in the sample." Maximum Likelihood Estimator (MLE) is quiet efficient and very popular both in literature and practice. Bayesian approach has been employed for estimating parameters. Some researchers have made comparisons of MLE and that of the Bayesian approach in estimating the survival function and the parameters of the Weibull distribution. According to [20] determined the Bayes estimates of the reliability function and the hazard rate of the Weibull failure time distribution by employing squared error loss function, [1] studied the approximate Bayesian estimates for the Weibull reliability function and hazard rate from censored data by employing a new method that has the potential of reducing the number of terms in Lindley procedure, and [5] conducted a study on Bayesian survival estimator for Weibull distribution with censored data using squared error loss function with Jeffreys prior amongst others.[10] applied Bayesian estimation, for the two-parameter Weibull distribution using extension of Jeffreys" prior information with three loss functions, [21] considered Bayesian estimation and prediction for Weibull model with progressive censoring.

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.
