Maximum Likelihood Estimation for the Weight Lindley Distribution Parameters under Different Types of Censoring

Methodology 2015-03-31 v1

Abstract

In this paper the maximum likelihood equations for the parameters of the Weight Lindley distribution are studied considering different types of censoring, such as, type I, type II and random censoring mechanism. A numerical simulation study is perform to evaluate the maximum likelihood estimates. The proposed methodology is illustrated in a real data set.
