We present Bayes estimators, highest posterior density (HPD) intervals, and maximum likelihood\nestimators (MLEs), for the Maxwell failure distribution based on Type II censored data, i.e. using\nthe first r lifetimes from a group of n components under test. Reliability/Hazard function estimates,\nBayes predictive distributions and highest posterior density prediction intervals for a future\nobservation are also considered. Two data examples and a Monte Carlo simulation study are\nused to illustrate the results and to compare the performances of the different methods.
