Abstract
A competing risks model under progressively type II censored data following the Rayleigh distribution is considered. We establish the maximum likelihood estimation for unknown parameters and compute the observed information matrix and the expected Fisher information matrix to construct the asymptotic confidence intervals. Moreover, we obtain the Bayes estimation based on symmetric and non-symmetric loss functions, that is, the squared error loss function and the general entropy loss function, and the highest posterior density intervals are also derived. In addition, a simulation study is presented to assess the performances of different methods discussed in this paper. A real-life data set analysis is provided for illustration purposes.
