This paper discusses the Bayesian inference of accelerated life tests (ALT) in the presence of competing failure causes. The time to failure due to a specific cause is described by a Weibull distribution. A two-stage approach is utilized to obtain the estimates of parameters in the model. We use...

In this paper we consider the Bayesian estimators for the unknown parameters of the Birnbaum-Saunders distribution under the reference prior. The Bayesian estimators cannot be obtained in closed forms. An approximate Bayesian approach is proposed using the idea of Lindley and Gibbs sampling...
