Simulation Results

Shrinkage estimators are introduced for the scale parameter of the Rayleigh distribution by using two different shrinkage techniques. The mean squared error properties of the proposed estimator have been derived. The comparison of proposed classes of the estimators is made with the respective conventional unbiased estimators by means of mean squared error in the simulation study. Simulation results show that the proposed shrinkage estimators yield smaller mean squared error than the existence of unbiased estimators.

Skew Normal

The skew-normal (SN) distribution is a generalization of the normal distribution, where a shape parameter is added to adopt skewed forms. The SN distribution has some of the properties of a univariate normal distribution, which makes it very attractive from a practical standpoint; however, it presents some inference problems. Specifically, the maximum likelihood estimator for the shape parameter tends to infinity with a positive probability. A new Bayesian approach is proposed in this paper which allows to draw inferences on the parameters of this distribution by using improper prior distributions in the ``centered parametrization'' for the location and scale parameter and a Beta-type for the shape parameter. Samples from posterior distributions are obtained by using the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm. A simulation study shows that the mode of the posterior distribution appears to be a good estimator in terms of bias and mean squared error. A comparative study with similar proposals for the SN estimation problem was undertaken. Simulation results provide evidence that the proposed method is easier to implement than previous ones. Some applications and comparisons are also included.

Upper Record

Teimouri and Nadarajah [Statist. Methodol.13 (2013) 12–24] considered bias corrected maximum likelihood estimation of the Weibull distribution based on upper record values. Here, we propose an estimator for the Weibull shape parameter based on consecutive upper records. It is shown by simulations that the proposed estimator has less bias and less mean squared error than an estimator due to Soliman et al. [Comput. Statist. Data Anal.51 (2006) 2065–2077] based on all upper records. Also, the proposed estimator can be considered as a good competitor for the maximum likelihood estimator of the shape parameter based on complete data. This is proved by simulations and using a real dataset.
