Abstract
In this article, we discuss the maximum likelihood estimation and Bayesian estimation procedures for estimating the parameters in an absolute continuous bivariate generalized exponential distribution based on Type-II censored samples. A Markov chain Monte Carlo method is applied to compute the Bayes estimates. We also propose a method to obtain the initial estimates of the parameters for the required iterative algorithm. A simulation study is used to evaluate the performance of the proposed estimation procedures. Two real data examples are utilized to illustrate the methodology developed in this manuscript.
