Abstract

Using the structural approach to inference, this paper studies the inference on the two-parameter Weibull distribution based on type II censored samples. For a vector of N independent future measurements are given, (i) The structural prediction density of k-arbitrary ordered measurements, and. (ii) The prediction distribution function of the median. The exponential distribution which is a special case of the two- parameter Weibull distribution with shape parameter equals one is discussed. An example to illustrate the above is also given.
