Bayesian Prediction of Future Generalized Order Statistics from a Class of Finite Mixture Distributions

Abstract

This article is concerned with the problem of prediction for the future generalized order statistics from a mixture of two general components based on doubly type II censored sample. We consider the one sample prediction and two sample prediction techniques. Bayesian prediction intervals for the median of future sample of generalized order statistics having odd and even sizes are obtained. Our results are specialized to ordinary order statistics and ordinary upper record values. A mixture of two Gompertz components model is given as an application. Numerical computations are given to illustrate the procedures.
