Abstract

In this paper, we derive the approximate maximum likelihood estimators of the scale parameter and location parameter in an exponentiated logistic distribution based on multiply Type-II censored samples. We compare the proposed estimators in the sense of the mean squared error for various censored samples. We also propose and compare the estimators of the reliability function by using the proposed estimators of the parameters.
