Abstract :
This paper deals with the problem of reconstructing missing
data in a left type-II censoring scheme, where the underlying distribution is
the Weibull distribution. Frequentist and Bayesian approaches are adopted
in order to provide some point reconstructors for the past failure times. The
problem of determining reconstruction intervals for the past failure times is
also considered. The investigation includes an example of application to real
data and various comparisons based on Monte Carlo simulations.
