Abstract
The problem of estimating unknown parameters and reliability function of a two parameter Burr type XII distribution is considered on the basis of a progressively type II censored sample. Several Bayesian estimates are obtained against different symmetric and asymmetric loss functions such as squared error, linex and general entropy. These Bayesian estimates are evaluated by applying the Lindley approximation method. Using simulations, all Bayesian estimates are compared with the corresponding maximum likelihood estimates numerically in terms of their mean square error values and some specific comments are made. Finally, two data sets are analyzed for the purpose of illustration.
