Abstract

Suppose that the length of time in years for which a business operates until failure has a Pareto distribution. Let t1 < t2 < ··· < tr denote the survival lifetimes of the first r of a random sample of n businesses. Bayesian predictions are to be made on the ordered failure times of the remaining (n - r) businesses, using the conditional probability function. Numerical examples are given to illustrate our results.
Keywords: Bayesian prediction bounds; One-sample problem; Type II censoring; Pareto type II distribution
