Abstract

Lindley distribution is one of the most important statistical distributions that is widely used in various fields including biology‎, ‎engineering‎, ‎and medicine‎. ‎This distribution has worked well in modeling mortality studies‎, ‎and this distribution can be used for statistical modeling of plant roots density‎. ‎Recently‎, ‎a number of researchers have shown that statistical distributions can be used to model or investigate the number of plant roots‎. ‎One of the most important of these is the Lindley distribution‎, ‎which can be used to investigate modeling data in the presence of outliers that have a Lindley or uniform distribution‎. ‎In this article‎, ‎we present the Lindley distribution under type II progressive censoring with the presence of outlier data‎, ‎and its parameters are estimated using maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods‎. ‎In the following‎, ‎by applying Gibbs sampling and performing simulation‎, ‎the estimators are compared with each other using the mean squared error.
