Bayesian estimation and maximum likelihood methods represent two central paradigms in modern statistical inference. Bayesian estimation incorporates prior beliefs through Bayes’ theorem, updating ...

The Weibull distribution remains an indispensable tool in reliability engineering and lifetime analysis, offering flexibility for modelling diverse failure behaviours. Modern parameter estimation ...

It is known that, as statistical methods, the maximum entropy estimation is equivalent to the maximum likelihood estimation with an exponential distribution. But, it is seen that the relation between ...

Gentleman & Geyer (1994) discuss the analysis of interval censored data and present results based on standard convex optimisation theory. Here, this problem is viewed from the perspective of a mixing ...
