Abstract
The problem of reconstruction of the past failure times in the left censored setup is considered. Various reconstructors of times to failure of units censored in a left-censored sample from the proportional reversed hazard rate models are demonstrated. The maximum likelihood, best unbiased and conditional median reconstructors are obtained. We also present two methods non-Bayesian and Bayesian for obtaining reconstruction intervals for the past failure times. Numerical example and a Monte Carlo simulation study are given to illustrate all the reconstruction methods discussed in this paper.
