Estimation of Unknown Parameters of Truncated Normal Distribution under Adaptive Progressive Type II Censoring Scheme

Abstract

In reality, estimations for the unknown parameters of truncated distribution with censored data have wide utilization. Truncated normal distribution is more suitable to fit lifetime data compared with normal distribution. This article makes statistical inferences on estimating parameters under truncated normal distribution using adaptive progressive type II censored data. First, the estimates are calculated through exploiting maximum likelihood method. The observed and expected Fisher information matrices are derived to establish the asymptotic confidence intervals. Second, Bayesian estimations under three loss functions are also studied. The point estimates are calculated by Lindley approximation. Importance sampling technique is applied to discuss the Bayes estimates and build the associated highest posterior density credible intervals. Bootstrap confidence intervals are constructed for the purpose of comparison. Monte Carlo simulations and data analysis are employed to present the performances of various methods. Finally, we obtain optimal censoring schemes under different criteria.

Reservoir Computing With Truncated Normal Distribution for Speech Emotion Recognition

“…In this work, to initialize the input weight we proposed the use of truncated normal distribution as one of the most important distribution [29] to initialize the input weight. Truncated normal distribution was presented more than a century ago [30], however, it has not been used widely in academia until recent years because of the complexity of truncated normal distribution numeric characteristics [31]. A truncated normal distribution was proposed by [10] to examine trotting horse speeds in order to exclude records that were less than a definite known time.…”

Optimal Confidence Regions for Weibull Parameters and Quantiles under Progressive Censoring

“…The progressive censoring scheme has been widely analyzed in recent decades. Papers by Kemaloglu and Gebizlioglu [6], Wang et al [7], Lee et al [8], Almongy et al [9], Chen and Gui [10] and Abu-Moussa et al [11] are just a sample. Comprehensive analyses of the state of the art on progressive censorship are provided in the works of Balakrishnan and Aggarwala [12] and Balakrishnan and Cramer [13].…”

Process Monitoring Using Truncated Gamma Distribution

“…For the estimation of unknown parameters, Chen and Gui [29] "used an adaptive progressive type-II censoring model to estimate unknown parameters of a truncated normal distribution". Gul et al [30] developed a truncated model called Weibull-truncated exponential distribution.…”
