“…Among them, the parametric hazard rate model that was proposed by Balakrishnan, Jiang, Tsai, Lio, and Chen [24] is flexible and simple for obtaining the CI of the baseline survival function of CDS components. Balakrishnan, Jiang, Tsai, Lio, and Chen [24] have presented the analytical statistical properties for the maximum likelihood estimation method. However, two problems are found when implementing the maximum likelihood estimation method that was proposed by Balakrishnan, Jiang, Tsai, Lio, and Chen [24].…”
