The College of Administration and Economics at the University of Basrah discussed a master's thesis entitled (Comparing some parameter methods and the reliability function of the two-parameter Erlang distribution with a practical application).
The researcher Zahraa Sobeih Mahdi’s thesis aims to study and compare the best methods for estimating parameters and the reliability function of the Erlang distribution using four methods, namely, the greatest possibility method, the moment method, the method of least squares, and the Bayes method to reach the best way to estimate that function, by relying on the statistical standard.
The thesis concluded that the adoption of the modified nonparametric methods for estimating the reliability function of the Erlang distribution and the application of the Bayes method in the study of the reliability of the Erlang distribution as it gave the best results in calculating the estimators due to its dependence on preliminary information.
