Estimation and reconstruction based on left censored data from Pareto model. (English) Zbl 1412.62050

Summary: In this paper, based on a left censored data from the two-parameter Pareto distribution, maximum likelihood and Bayes estimators for the two unknown parameters are obtained. The problem of reconstruction of the past failure times, either point or interval, in the left-censored set-up, is also considered from Bayesian and non-Bayesian approaches. Two numerical examples and a Monte Carlo simulation study are given for illustrative purposes.
