Abstract
  This paper develops and analyzes a class of double pre-test shrinkage estimators for the reliability function of the Pareto distribution based on progressively Type-II censored samples. The proposed approach combines a preliminary test of the shape parameter against a prior target value with shrinkage ...  Read More
