On the Parameter Estimation of the Generalized Exponential Distribution Under Progressive Type-I Interval Censoring Scheme
Abstract: Chen and Lio (Computational Statistics and Data Analysis 54: 1581-1591, 2010) proposed five methods for estimating the parameters of generalized exponential distribution under progressive type-I interval censoring scheme. Unfortunately, among them, the proposed EM algorithm is incorrect. Here, we propose the correct EM algorithm and compare its performance with the maximum likelihood estimators and that proposed by Chen and Lio (2010) in a simulation study.
