Sa. Siddiqui et al., BAYESIAN-ANALYSIS OF RELIABILITY AND HAZARD RATE-FUNCTION OF A MIXTURE MODEL, Microelectronics and reliability, 37(6), 1997, pp. 935-941
The present article deals with the Bayesian analysis for a modified (g
eneral) Mukherji-Islam model [A finite range distribution of failure t
imes, Naval Research Logistics Quarterly, 1983, 30, 487-491] on the ba
sis of failure time data x(1), x(2),..., x(r) for a prefixed number of
failures. Under the use of different prior densities for the paramete
r and the squared error loss function (SELF), the Bayesian estimates o
f hazard rate and the reliability functions are obtained, considering
uniform, Gamma and inverted gamma densities as prior failure densities
