New method predicts future order statistics with high accuracy.
The article explores how to estimate and predict data from the Burr type III distribution when some information is missing. The researchers used maximum likelihood and maximum product spacing methods to estimate model parameters, and an EM algorithm to find the best estimates. They also predicted future data points using a reliable method. Through simulations, they showed that their estimation methods work well. Additionally, they demonstrated the usefulness of the Burr III distribution with a numerical example.
