Monotonicity of Bayes estimators

Piotr Bolesław Nowak (2013)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let X=(X₁,..., Xₙ) be a sample from a distribution with density f(x;θ), θ ∈ Θ ⊂ ℝ. In this article the Bayesian estimation of the parameter θ is considered. We examine whether the Bayes estimators of θ are pointwise ordered when the prior distributions are partially ordered. Various cases of loss function are studied. A lower bound for the survival function of the normal distribution is obtained.

Improved inference for the generalized Pareto distribution under linear, power and exponential normalization

Osama Mohareb Khaled, Haroon Mohamed Barakat, Nourhan Khalil Rakha (2022)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

We discuss three estimation methods: the method of moments, probability weighted moments, and L-moments for the scale parameter and the extreme value index in the generalized Pareto distribution under linear normalization. Moreover, we adapt these methods to use for the generalized Pareto distribution under power and exponential normalizations. A simulation study is conducted to compare the three methods on the three models and determine which is the best, which turned out to be the...

On the Bayes estimators of the parameters of inflated modified power series distributions

Małgorzata Murat, Dominik Szynal (2000)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

In this paper, we study the class of inflated modified power series distributions (IMPSD) where inflation occurs at any of support points. This class includes among others the generalized Poisson,the generalized negative binomial and the lost games distributions. We derive the Bayes estimators of parameters for these distributions when a parameter of inflation is known. First, we take as the prior distribution the uniform, Beta and Gamma distribution. In the second part of this paper,...

On the outstanding elements and record values in the exponential and gamma populations.

G. S. Lingappaiah (1981)

Trabajos de Estadística e Investigación Operativa

Similarity:

Outstanding elements and recorded values are discussed in this paper as related to exponential and gamma populations. First, the problem of prediction is considered when there are available, k sets of independent observations from a general-type exponential distribution. In such a case, prediction of the n-th record value in the k-th set is made in terms of n-th (i = 1, ..., k-1) record values from other (k-1) sets. For this purpose a predictive distribution is obtained. Secondly, the...

Three methods for constructing reference prior distributions.

Eusebio Gómez Sánchez-Manzano, Miguel A. Gómez Villegas (1990)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

Similarity:

Three methods are proposed for constructing reference prior densities for certain biparametric distribution families. These densities represent approximations to the Bayesian concept of noninformative distribution.

Univariate parametric survival analysis using GS-distributions.

Albert Sorribas, José M. Muiño, Montserrat Rué, Joan Fibla (2006)

SORT

Similarity:

The GS-distribution is a family of distributions that provide an accurate representation of any unimodal univariate continuous distribution. In this contribution we explore the utility of this family as a general model in survival analysis. We show that the survival function based on the GS-distribution is able to provide a model for univariate survival data and that appropriate estimates can be obtained. We develop some hypotheses tests that can be used for checking the underlying survival...

Weighting, likelihood ratio order and life distributions

Magdalena Skolimowska, Jarosław Bartoszewicz (2006)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

We use weighted distributions with a weight function being a ratio of two densities to obtain some results of interest concerning life and residual life distributions. Our theorems are corollaries from results of Jain et al. (1989) and Bartoszewicz and Skolimowska (2006).
