| Summary: | This paper attempts to estimate the parameters for the two-parameter Rayleigh distribution based on adaptive Type II progressive hybrid censored data with competing risks. Firstly, the maximum likelihood function and the maximum likelihood estimators are derived before the existence and uniqueness of the latter are proven. Further, Bayesian estimators are considered under symmetric and asymmetric loss functions, that is the squared error loss function, the LINEXloss function, and the general entropy loss function. As the Bayesian estimators cannot be obtained explicitly, the Lindley method is applied to compute the approximate Bayesian estimates. Finally, a simulation study is conducted, and a real dataset is analyzed for illustrative purposes.
