Abstract
In this paper, we consider the exponentiated gamma distribution as an
important model of life time models and derive Bayesian and non-Bayesian
estimators of the shape parameter, reliability and failure rate functions in the case of
complete and type-II censored samples. The mean square errors of the estimates are
computed. Comparisons are made between these estimators using Monte Carlo
simulation study.
