Bayesian inference for the Pareto lifetime model in the presence of outliers under progressive censoring with binomial removals

Here we have used Type II progressive censoring with random removal for the Pareto lifetime model in the presence of outliers. The number of units removed at each failure time follows a Binomial distribution. The analysis is based on Bayesian approach. In the last, we have given examples with real data.
