Bayesian Prediction for the Left Truncated Exponential Distribution

Given a type 2 censored sample from a left truncated exponential distribution, Bayesian prediction bounds are derived for future observations and the uncensored sample observations. Numerical examples are used to compare these bounds with those obtained using both classical and Bayesian approaches a...

Description
Summary:Given a type 2 censored sample from a left truncated exponential distribution, Bayesian prediction bounds are derived for future observations and the uncensored sample observations. Numerical examples are used to compare these bounds with those obtained using both classical and Bayesian approaches assuming the lifetimes follow a two-parameter exponential distribution.
