Algorithms of Confidence Intervals of WG Distribution Based on Progressive Type-II Censoring Samples

The purpose of this article offers different algorithms of Weibull Geometric (WG) distribution estimation depending on the progressive Type II censoring samples plan, spatially the joint confidence intervals for the parameters. The approximate joint confidence intervals for the parameters, the approximate confidence regions and percentile bootstrap intervals of confidence are discussed, and several Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) techniques are also presented. The parts of mean square error (MSEs) and credible intervals lengths, the estimators of Bayes depend on non-informative implement more effective than the maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs) and bootstrap. Comparing the models, the MSEs, average confidence interval lengths of the MLEs, and Bayes estimators for parameters are less significant for censored models.


Introduction
The statistical distributions have a very important location of computer branches because of the great number of their particular applications.Being applied to images using Weibull distribution, the structured masks yield good results for the diagnosis of the early Alzheimer's disease [1].The paper [2] explores the relationship between the visible content and the real image statistics sampled by the integrated Weibull distribution.It presents a strong relationship between the brain and the parameters' values using brain images.Moreover, the study discusses a simulated model of parameters estimated from the producer of EEG responses [3].
The Weibull distributions display significant statistics-because of their large number of particular features, and practitioners-due to their efficiency to suit data from several scopes, beginning with real data in life, to observation made in economics, weather data, acceptance sampling, hydrology, biology etc. [4].The article deals with the Weibull-geometric (WG) distribution.
MohieEl-Din et al. [16] [17] and Elhag et al. [18] studied the confidence intervals for parameters of inverse Weibull distribution based on MLE and bootstrap.
The paper is organized as follows: the probability density function and cumulative functions of the WG distribution are presented in Section 2. Section 3 provides Markov chain Monte Carlo's algorithms.The maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters of the WG distribution, the point and interval estimates of the parameters, as well as the approximate joint confidence region are studied in Section 4. The parametric bootstrap confidence intervals of parameters are discussed in Section 5. Bayes estimation of the model parameters and Gibbs sampling algorithm are provided in Section 6.Data analysis and Monte Carlo simulation results are presented in Section 7. Section 8 concludes the paper.

WG Distributions
It is assumed that there are n groups, independent and separated.Each group contains k items that are put in a lifetime test.Consider that the progressive censored scheme such that: 1 R represents a set of groups isolated and deleted from the current test, randomly, when the first failure . The failure times of the k n × items from a continuous population are defined by: (see Balakrishnan and Sandhu [19]) and ( )( ) ( ) There are special cases of the progressive first-failure censoring scheme of Equation ( 1) as follows: , the first-failure censoring scheme is obtained.
2) When 1 k = , the censoring order statistics of progressive Type II is found.
Generally, the progressively first-failure censoring order statistics 1; , , can be represented as a censoring order statistics of progressive Type II from the size of a population with function of distribution e 1 e , 0, and the cumulative distribution function (cdf) of the WG distribution is shown by: ( ) where 0; 0 α β > > and ( ) are parameters.The parameters α and β stand for the shape and scale while p stands for the mixing parameters, respectively.
The WG distribution in Equation (3) produces some special models as follows: 1) Weibull distribution, when 0 p = .
2) WG distribution tends to a distribution that is degenerated in zero, when 1 p → .Hence, the parameter p can be explained as a focus parameter or concentration parameter.Figure 1 and Figure 2 show the density and cumulative plots   ( ) The WG density can be unimodal when 1 p < − .For instance, when 1 p < − and 1 α = , the EEG distribution is unimodal.The hazard and survival functions of X are:

Markov Chain Monte Carlo Algorithms
Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) technique has spread widely for Bayesian calculation in compound statistical modeling.In general, it gives a beneficial application for real statistical modeling (Gilks et al. [20]; Gamerman, [21]).
Markov Chain is a randomly determined and stochastic process, having a random probability distribution or pattern that may be resolved statistically in that future cases are independent of previous cases specified the current case.
Monte Carlo chain is an emulation and simulation, therefore; it used to solve integrals to some extent rather than analyze performance, a procedure named integration of Monte Carlo.In this way, interested quantities of a distribution can be picked from emulated draws and charts from the distribution.Bayesian test needs integration over probably high-dimension of probability distributions to produce predictions or to yield inference and deduction about parameters of model.Basically, Monte Carlo integration is utilized with chains of Markov in MCMC techniques.The patterns of integration draw from the desired distribution, and then form pattern rates to sacrificial expectations (see Geman [22]; Metropolis et al. [23]; and Hastings [24]).

MH Procedure
The Metropolis-Hastings (MH) procedure is employed by Metropolis et al. [23].
It is assumed that the main target here is to design samples from the distribution 2) At time t sample candidate, points to or suggests that τ * from , the proposal distribution.
3) The approval probability is computed by: 4) Produce ( ) , the suggestion is accepted and put ( ) = , else refuse the suggestion and put ( ) ( ) When the proposal distribution is symmetric, so ( ) ( ) possible η and τ then, in particular, the result is so that the acceptance probability ( 5) is given by

GS Procedure
Gibbs' sampler (GS) procedure is a straightforward branch of MCMC algorithms.This procedure was implemented by Geman [22].The significance of Gibbs' procedure for area of issues in Bayesian analysis is explained by Gelfand and Smith [25].The complete conditional distribution forms the transition kernel, so Gibbs sampler procedure is a MCMC planner.
The three unknown parameters of WG distribution will be studied through the various algorithms of estimation based on progressive Type-II censoring.
The MCMC procedures are used with Bayesian technique to produce from the posterior distributions.

MLE of WG Distribution
This section determines the maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs) of the WG distribution parameters.Let's assume that ; , , 1, 2, , are the progressive first-failure censoring order statistics from a WG distribution, with censoring plane R. Using Equations ( 1)-( 3), the function of likelihood is shown by: where κ is given in (2).The logarithm of the function of likelihood may be obtained as follow: ( ) , , | 1 ( ) The analytical solution of , α β and p in Equations ( 12)-( 14) is very diffi- cult.Hence, some numerical techniques like Newton's method may be used.
From the function of log-likelihood in (11), the Fisher information matrix  ( ) Confidence intervals can be calculated approximately for , α β and p to be bivariate normal distributed with the means ( ) ˆ, and respectively, where the values 11 v , 22 v and 33 v are on the major diagonal of the covariance matrix

Intervals of Bootstrap Confidence
The bootstrap technique is used for resampling in statistical inference cases.It is usually utilized to evaluate confidence regions and it can be applied to evaluate bias and variance of a calibrator or estimator assumption tests.Additional scanning of the parametric and nonparametric bootstrap technique is applied, see Davison and Hinkley [26], and Elhag et al. [27].The parametric bootstrap technique of the two confidence intervals is suggested.The algorithm for evaluating the confidence intervals of parameters uses both Efron and Tibshirani procedures [28], and bootstrap-t Hall procedure [20].The Bootstrap sampling algorithm for estimating the confidence intervals of parameters is illustrated below.

Bayes Estimation of the Model Parameters
In the consideration that each of the parameters , α β and p are unknown, it may be considered that the joint prior density is a product of gamma density of α and β uniform prior of p, where Hence, using squared error loss function (SEL) of any function ( ) , , p ϕ α β , the Bayes estimate of , α β and p can be expressed as In general, the value of two integrals specified by ( 26) cannot be acquired in a cleared and closed this situation, the MCMC procedure is used to create patterns from the posterior distributions and; therefore, is calculated the Bayes estimator of ( ) , , p ϕ α β along with the function of SEL.A wide diversity of MCMC techniques is available and can be troublesome to select any of them.
A significant type of MCMC technique is Gibbs samplers and widespread Metropolis within-Gibbs samplers.
The MCMC procedure has the advantage over the MLE procedure that we can permanently gain an appropriate estimation of intervals of the parameters by building the probability intervals and using the experimental posterior distribution.
This, sometimes, is not obtainable in MLE.The samples of MCMC can be utilized to fully brief the uncertainty of posterior about the parameters , α β and p , by using a kernel estimation of the posterior distribution.
The function of joint posterior density of , α β and p may be described as , , | 1 exp log The conditional posterior PDF's of , α β and p are shown as | , , 1 exp 2 log 1 exp .
The Metropolis-Hastings procedure [23] with normal proposal distribution under the Gibbs sampler algorithm is described as follows: Gibbs/Metropolis-Hastings Sampler Algorithm 1) Initialize 2) Based on Metropolis-Hastings, create ( ) I α using (28) with the , , where 1 σ is from variances-covariance matrix.
3) Based on Metropolis-Hastings, create ( ) , , where M is the number of iterations (burn-in period) before the stationary distribution is accomplished and posterior variance of l ϕ | , 9) The quintiles of the pattern are picked as the endpoints of the interval to calculate the reliable intervals of l , , , , , , ϕ ϕ ϕ − .Hence, the symmetric credible interval with ( )

Illustrative Example and Simulation Studies

The approximate bootstrap, Bayes estimates and MLEs are calculated of , α β , and p under these data utilizing MCMC algorithm outputs are explained in Table 1 and Table 2. Table 2 yield the 95%, approximate confidence intervals of two bootstrap, approximate credible and MLE under the MCMC samples.Studies of simulation have been executed employing Mathematica ver.9.0 for explaining the theoretic outcomes of estimates issue.The accomplishment of the performing estimators of the parameters has been supposed in valued of their mean square error (MSE) and average (AVG), where ( ) ( ) .
In studies of simulation, the researchers assume that the population parameter rates ( ) ).Under function of squared error loss, the researchers calculate the Bayes estimations.The estimations of Bayes and 95% credible intervals using 11,000 sets of MCMC are also calculated.The mean Bayes estima- Comparatively, the MLEs with the 95% confidence intervals are calculated based on the observation of Fisher information matrix and two bootstrap confidences.Table 3 and Table 4 report the outputs based on MLEs and the Bayes estimations utilizing both the Gibbs sampling algorithm and MH algorithm: 1) From Table 3 and Table 4, in parts of MSEs and credible intervals lengths, the estimators of Bayes depend on non-informative implement more effective than the MLEs and bootstrap.
2) From Table 3 and Table 4, comparing the models, the MSEs, average confidence interval lengths of the MLEs, and Bayes estimators for parameters are less significant for censored models ( ) 3) The MSE and average confidence interval lengths nearly reduce the estimators in whole situations when the performance sample rate n m raises.
