Abstract :
In this paper, a Marshal-Olkin bivariate model based on Burr
III distribution is considered under random left censoring. The maximum
likelihood estimator of the unknown parameters is obtained using the direct
method and Expectation Conditional Maximization algorithm. We also
obtained the Fisher information matrices. To discuss the properties of the
estimators obtained iteratively, a simulation study is carried out. A real
data set is used to illustrate the theoretical results.
