This study examined the estimations of Weibull distribution using progressively first-failure censored data, under the assumption that removals follow the beta-binomial distribution. Classical and Bayesian approaches for estimating unknown model parameters have been established. The estimations included scale and shape parameters, reliability and failure rate metrics as well as beta-binomial parameters. Estimations were considered from both point and interval viewpoints. The Bayes estimates were developed by using the squared error loss and generating samples for the posterior distribution through the Markov Chain Monte Carlo technique. Two interval estimation approaches are considered: approximate confidence intervals based on asymptotic normality of likelihood estimates and Bayes credible intervals. To investigate the performance of classical and Bayesian estimations, a simulation study was considered by various kinds of experimental settings. Furthermore, two examples related to real datasets were thoroughly investigated to verify the practical importance of the suggested methodologies.
