Bayesian Prediction of Weibull Distribution Based on Fixed and Random Sample Size

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 62E16, 65C05, 65C20. We consider the problem of predictive interval for future observations from Weibull distribution. We consider two cases they are: (i) fixed sample size (FSS), (ii) random sample size (RSS). Further, we derive the predictive function for both FSS and RSS in closed forms. Next, the upper and lower 1%, 2.5%, 5% and 10% critical points for the predictive functions are calculated. To show the usefulness of our results,...

Minimax prediction under random sample size

Similarity:

A class of minimax predictors of random variables with multinomial or multivariate hypergeometric distribution is determined in the case when the sample size is assumed to be a random variable with an unknown distribution. It is also proved that the usual predictors, which are minimax when the sample size is fixed, are not minimax, but they remain admissible when the sample size is an ancillary statistic with unknown distribution.
