Estimations and Prediction for the Compound Rayleigh Distribution Based on Upper Record Values
This article considers estimation of the unknown parameters for the compound Rayleigh distribution (CRD) based on upper record values. We have derived the maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian estimators for the unknown two parameters, as well as the reliability and hazard functions. We obtained Bayes estimators on the basis of the symmetric (squared error) and asymmetric (linear exponential (LINEX) and general entropy (GE)) loss functions. It has been seen that the symmetric and asymmetric Bayes estimators are obtained in closed forms. Furthermore, Bayesian prediction interval of the future upper record values are discussed and obtained. Finally, estimation of the parameters, practical examples of real record values and simulated record values are given to illustrate the theoretical results of prediction interval.
