Abstract
This study deals with point and interval estimations for the scale and shape parameters of the component lifetime distribution of a k-component series system when the component lifetimes are assumed to be independently and identically Erlang-truncated exponential distributions. It is assumed that the components are exposed to progressive Type-II censoring scheme. Each failure in this censoring plan is assumed to be random and subject to the binomial distribution. Parameter estimations are obtained by using the maximum likelihood method and their approximate confidence intervals are obtained by using the bootstrap method. The simulations are performed to evaluate the performances of the theoretical outcomes.
