This paper assumes constant-stress accelerated life tests when the lifespan of the test units follows the XLindley distribution. In addition to the maximum likelihood estimation, the Bayesian estimation of the model parameters is acquired based on progressively Type-II censored samples. The point and interval estimations of the model parameters and some reliability indices under normal operating conditions at mission time are derived using both estimation methods. Using the Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm, the Bayes estimates are calculated using the squared error loss function. Simulating the performances of the different estimation methods is performed to illustrate the proposed methodology. As an example of how the proposed methods can be applied, we look at two real-life accelerated life test cases. According to the numerical outcomes and based on some criteria, including the root of the mean square error and interval length, we can conclude that the Bayesian estimation method based on the Markov chain Monte Carlo procedure performs better than the classical methods in evaluating the XLindley parameters and some of its reliability measures when a constant-stress accelerated life test is applied with progressively Type-II censoring.
