These inferences are drawn from two independent fatal risks and come from two different lines of production with the same facility. The model parameters and the parameters of life (reliability and hazard rate functions) are estimated using maximum likelihood (ML), bootstrap and Bayes methods. Additionally, we constructed asymptotic ML confidence intervals, bootstrap confidence intervals and Bayes credible intervals. Furthermore, the theoretical results are assessed and compared through Monte Carlo simulations. Finally, one real data set is analyzed under the proposed model for illustrative purpose.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym14040701","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,30]],"date-time":"2022-03-30T21:24:42Z","timestamp":1648675482000},"page":"701","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Statistical Inference of Jointly Type-II Lifetime Samples under Weibull Competing Risks Models"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9008-9197","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Abdulaziz S.","family":"Alghamdi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, College of Science and Arts, King Abdulaziz University, Rabigh 21911, Saudi Arabia"}]},{"given":"Gamal Amin","family":"Abd-Elmougod","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Science, Damanhour University, Damanhour 22511, Egypt"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9141-422X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Debasis","family":"Kundu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur 208016, India"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1552-3763","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marin","family":"Marin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, Transilvania University of Brasov, 500036 Brasov, Romania"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"415","DOI":"10.1214\/aoms\/1177705904","article-title":"Contributions to the Theory of Rank Order Statistics: The Two-Sample Censored Case","volume":"31","author":"Rao","year":"1960","journal-title":"Ann.
