Exact Inference for Laplace Quantile, Reliability, and Cumulative Hazard Functions Based on Type-II Censored Data
Abstract
In this paper, we first present explicit expressions for the maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs) of the location, and scale parameters of the Laplace distribution based on a Type-II right censored sample under different cases. Then, after giving the exact density functions of the MLEs, and the expectations, we derive the exact density of the MLE of the quantile, and utilize it to develop exact confidence intervals for the population quantile. …
