Life time data obtained from a life test experiment is often in the form of type III censored data, which occurs when observations enter at different times and last for varying durations. In survival analysis, data is expected to follow a certain probability distribution. To determine the characteristics of a population, a point estimate of the probability distribution parameters is conducted. This study aims to obtain parameter estimators of the Lomax distribution on type III censored data with the Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) and Newton Raphson methods. Application of parameter estimation results on post-heart surgery survival data in one of the Jakarta hospitals. The result of estimating the parameter ? ? value in the post-heart surgery patient data is 1.552 and the result of estimating the parameter ? ? in the post-heart surgery patient data is 20.38. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the estimated probability of survival of a post-heart surgery patient for more than 49 days is 14.94% with a risk rate of 2.2%.
