ABSTRACT

On the basis of Awad sup-entropy, the efficiency function for type-I censored sample from the Weibull distribution is numerically introduced. The properties of the derived efficiency are discussed. Furthermore, for a given efficiency, the termination time of the experiment, and the maximum likelihood estimates for the Weibull parameters, are proposed. Simulation results are tabulated and discussed. Censored and complete samples are compared for a wide range of the efficiency. The comparisons show the quality of the developed algorithms and the effectiveness of using censoring in estimating with the Weibull distribution.
