However, the limitation of the progressive hybrid censoring scheme is that it cannot be applied when few failures occur before time T. Therefore, a generalized progressive hybrid censoring scheme was introduced. In this paper, the estimation of the entropy of a two-parameter Weibull distribution based on the generalized progressively censored sample has been considered. The Bayes estimators for the entropy of the Weibull distribution based on the symmetric and asymmetric loss functions, such as the squared error, linex and general entropy loss functions, are provided. The Bayes estimators cannot be obtained explicitly, and Lindley\u2019s approximation is used to obtain the Bayes estimators. Simulation experiments are performed to see the effectiveness of the different estimators. Finally, a real dataset has been analyzed for illustrative purposes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e17010102","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,1,5]],"date-time":"2015-01-05T10:17:08Z","timestamp":1420453028000},"page":"102-122","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":86,"title":["Estimating the Entropy of a Weibull Distribution under Generalized Progressive Hybrid Censoring"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Youngseuk","family":"Cho","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Statistics, Pusan National University, Geumjeong-gu, Busan 609-735, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hokeun","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Statistics, Pusan National University, Geumjeong-gu, Busan 609-735, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kyeongjun","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Statistics, Pusan National University, Geumjeong-gu, Busan 609-735, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,1,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"379","DOI":"10.1002\/j.1538-7305.1948.tb01338.x","article-title":"A mathematical theory of communication","volume":"27","author":"Shannn","year":"1948","journal-title":"Bell Syst.
