Maximum Likelihood Estimation of the Parameters of Exponentiated Generalized Weibull Based on Progressive Type II Censored Data

摘要

Exponentiated> Generalized Weibull distribution is a probability distribution which generalizes the Weibull distribution introducing two more shapes parameters to best adjust the non-monotonic shape. The parameters of the new probability distribution function are estimated by the maximum likelihood method under progressive type II censored data via expectation maximization algorithm.
