Description
Summary:The generalized Pareto distribution plays a significant role in reliability research. This study concentrates on the statistical inference of the generalized Pareto distribution utilizing progressively Type-II censored data. Estimations are performed using maximum likelihood estimation through the expectation–maximization approach. Confidence intervals are derived using the asymptotic confidence intervals. Bayesian estimations are conducted using the Tierney and Kadane method alongside the Metropolis–Hastings algorithm, and the highest posterior density credible interval estimation is accomplished. Furthermore, Bayesian predictive intervals and future sample estimations are explored. To illustrate these inference techniques, a simulation and practical example are presented for analysis.
