Parameters Estimation of the Bivariate Weibull Distribution by EM Algorithm Based on Censored Samples
Keywords:
Bivariate Weibull, censored sample, EM algorithm, maximum likelihood estimation, missing dataAbstract
In this paper, the parameters of Marshall-Olkin bivariate Weibull distribution are estimated. The maximum likelihood estimators under type I censoring are estimated. Also, the expectation-maximization algorithm is considered. Numerical studies are considered to compare the estimates. Hanagal and Ahmadi [6] results may be considered as special case from our results.
