Abstract

Recently, Sarhan [8] introduced a new distribution named generalized quadratic hazard rate distribution. In this paper, we deal with the problem of estimating the parameters of this distribution based on Type II censored data. The maximum likelihood and least square techniques are used. For illustrative purpose, the results obtained are applied on sets of real data.
