In this paper, based on combined Type-II censored samples, an exponential form for the underlaying distributions is considered for estimating the unknown parameters using the maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods. Three loss functions are used to derive the Bayesian estimators. Also, the Bayesian prediction for the order statistics from a future sample is calculated. Moreover, the results of the exponential and Pareto distributions are presented as illustrative examples. Finally, for illustrating all the inferential methods discussed in this paper, Monte Carlo simulation and data analysis for the exponential distribution are presented.
