*Result*: Bayesian and non-Bayesian estimation of some entropy measures for a Weibull distribution.
*Further Information*
*Entropy measures have been employed in various applications as a helpful indicator of information content. This study considered the estimation of Shannon entropy, ζ -entropy, Arimoto entropy, and Havrda and Charvat entropy measures for the Weibull distribution. The classical and Bayesian estimators for the suggested entropy measures were derived using generalized Type Ⅱ hybrid censoring data. Based on symmetric and asymmetric loss functions, Bayesian estimators of entropy measurements were developed. Asymptotic confidence intervals with the help of the delta method and the highest posterior density intervals of entropy measures were constructed. The effectiveness of the point and interval estimators was evaluated through a Monte Carlo simulation study and an application with actual data sets. Overall, the study's results indicate that with longer termination times, both maximum likelihood and Bayesian entropy estimates were effective. Furthermore, Bayesian entropy estimates using the linear exponential loss function tended to outperform those using other loss functions in the majority of scenarios. In conclusion, the analysis results from real-world examples aligned with the simulated data. Drawing insights from the analysis of glass fiber, we can assert that this research holds practical applications in reliability engineering and financial analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
