In this paper, we have derived the probability density function of the size-biased p-dimensional Rayleigh distribution and studied its properties. Its suitability as a survival model has been discussed by obtaining its survival and hazard functions. We also discussed Bayesian estimation of the parameter of the size-biased p-dimensional Rayleigh distribution. Bayes estimators have been obtained by taking quasi-prior. The loss functions used are squared error and precautionary.

This paper is concerned with estimating the parameter of Rayleigh distribution (special case of two parameters Weibull distribution) by adopting Bayesian approach under squared error (SE), LINEX, MLINEX loss function. The performances of the obtained estimators for different types of loss functions are then compared. Better result is found in Bayesian approach under MLINEX loss function. Bayes risk of the estimators are also computed and presented in graphs.

In this paper, exponentiated inverse Rayleigh distribution is considered for Bayesian analysis. The expressions for Bayes estimators of the parameter have been derived under squared error, precautionary, entropy, K-loss, and Al-Bayyati’s loss functions by using quasi and gamma priors.

In this paper, Bayes estimators of the unknown shape and scale parameters of the Exponentiated Inverse Rayleigh Distribution (EIRD) have been derived using both the frequentist and bayesian methods. The Bayes theorem was adopted to obtain the posterior distribution of the shape and scale parameters of an Exponentiated Inverse Rayleigh Distribution (EIRD) using both conjugate and non-conjugate prior distribution under different loss functions (such as Entropy Loss Function, Linex Loss Function and Scale Invariant Squared Error Loss Function). The posterior distribution derived for both shape and scale parameters are intractable and a Lindley approximation was adopted to obtain the parameters of interest. The loss function were employed to obtain the estimates for both scale and shape parameters with an assumption that the both scale and shape parameters are unknown and independent. Also the Bayes estimate for the simulated datasets and real life datasets were obtained. The Bayes estimates obtained under dierent loss functions are close to the true parameter value of the shape and scale parameters. The estimators are then compared in terms of their Mean Square Error (MSE) using R programming language. We deduce that the MSE reduces as the sample size (n) increases.

In this article, a new four-parameter lifetime model called the beta generalized inverse Rayleigh distribution (BGIRD) is defined and studied. Mixture representation of this model is derived. Curve’s behavior of probability density function, reliability function, and hazard function are studied. Next, we derived the quantile function, median, mode, moments, harmonic mean, skewness, and kurtosis. In addition, the order statistics and the mean deviations about the mean and median are found. Other important properties including entropy (Rényi and Shannon), which is a measure of the uncertainty for this distribution, are also investigated. Maximum likelihood estimation is adopted to the model. A simulation study is conducted to estimate the parameters. Four real-life data sets from difference fields were applied on this model. In addition, a comparison between the new model and some competitive models is done via information criteria. Our model shows the best fitting for the real data.
