One of the drawbacks of the type II progressive censoring scheme is that the length of the experiment can be very large. Because of that, recently a new censoring scheme named as the type II progressively hybrid censored scheme has received considerable interest among the statisticians. In this paper, the statistical inference for the half-logistic distribution is discussed based on the progressively type II hybrid censored samples. The maximum likelihood estimator, the approximate maximum likelihood estimator and the Bayes estimator of parameter using Lindley approximation and MCMC method are obtained. Asymptotic confidence intervals, Bootstrap confidence intervals and Bayesian credible intervals are obtained. Different point and interval estimators are compared using Monte Carlo simulation. A real data set is presented for illustrative purposes.
