Bayesian estimation of the scale parameter of inverse Weibull distribution under the asymmetric loss functions (Q361604): Difference between revisions

Summary: This paper proposes different methods for estimating the scale parameter in the inverse Weibull distribution (IWD). Specifically, the maximum likelihood estimator of the scale parameter in IWD is introduced. We then derived the Bayes estimators for the scale parameter in IWD by considering quasi, gamma, and uniform priors distributions under the square error, entropy, and precautionary loss functions. Finally, the different proposed estimators have been compared by extensive simulation studies in the corresponding mean square errors and the evolution of risk functions.
