Recently, a novel improved adaptive Type-II progressive censoring strategy has been suggested in order to obtain adequate data from trials that require a lengthy amount of time. Considering this scheme, this paper focuses on various classical and Bayesian estimation challenges for parameter and some reliability metrics for the XLindley distribution. Two classical estimation methods are considered from the classical perspective to get the point and interval estimations of the model parameter as well as reliability and hazard rate functions. In addition to the usual approaches, the Bayesian methodology is looked at by leveraging the squared error loss function and the Markov chain Monte Carlo technique. The Bayes point and credible intervals are obtained based on two forms of the posterior distribution. A simulation examination is implemented adopting multiple circumstances to distinguish between the conventional and Bayesian estimations. The simulation results demonstrate that the Bayesian approach using the likelihood function is superior for estimating the model parameter when compared with the other methods. In contrast, when estimating reliability metrics, it is advisable to utilize the Bayesian method with the spacings function. Two real-world data sets are analyzed to integrate the proposed approaches into practice, and the ideal progressive censoring strategy is chosen using some optimality criteria.
