On Estimating the Parameters of the Beta Inverted Exponential Distribution under Type-II Censored Samples.

This article aims to consider estimating the unknown parameters, survival, and hazard functions of the beta inverted exponential distribution. Two methods of estimation were used based on type-II censored samples: maximum likelihood and Bayes estimators. The Bayes estimators were derived using an informative gamma prior distribution under three loss functions: squared error, linear exponential, and general entropy. Furthermore, a Monte Carlo simulation study was carried out to compare the performance of different methods. The potentiality of this distribution is illustrated using two real-life datasets from difference fields. Further, a comparison between this model and some other models was conducted via information criteria. Our model performs the best fit for the real data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
