Approximate MLE for the scaled generalized exponential distribution under progressive type-II censoring

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

For the generalized exponential (GE) distribution, the maximum likelihood method does
not provide an explicit estimator for the scale parameter based on a progressively Type-II
censored sample. This paper provides a simple method of deriving an explicit estimator
by approximating the likelihood function. A Monte Carlo simulation is used to investigate
the accuracy of this estimator and two examples are given to illustrate this method of
estimation.
