The aim of the present study is to investigate the sensitivity of empirical Bayes estimates of the reliability function with respect to changing of the loss function. In addition to applying some of the basic analytical results on empirical Bayes reliability obtained with the use of the “popular” squared error loss function, we shall derive some expressions corresponding to empirical Bayes reliability estimates obtained with the Higgins–Tsokos, the Harris and our proposed logarithmic loss functions. The concept of efficiency, along with the notion of integrated mean square error, will be used as a criterion to numerically compare our results.It is shown that empirical Bayes reliability functions are in general sensitive to the choice of the loss function, and that the squared error loss does not always yield the best empirical Bayes reliability estimate.

In the current study, we have been derived some Basyian estimators for the parameter and relia-bility function of the inverse Rayleigh distribution under Generalized squared error loss function. In order to get the best understanding of the behavior of Bayesian analysis, we consider non-informative prior for the scale parameter using Jefferys prior Information as well as informative prior density represented by Gamma distribution. Monte-Carlo simulation have been employed to compare the behavior of different estimates for the scale parameter and reliability function of in-verse Rayleigh distribution based on mean squared errors and Integrated mean squared errors, respectively. In the current study, we observed that more occurrence of Bayesian estimate using Generalized squared error loss function using Gamma prior is better than other estimates for all cases

This paper develops a Bayesian analysis of the scale parameter in the Weibull distribution with a scale parameter  θ  and shape parameter  β (known). For the prior distribution of the parameter involved, inverted Gamma distribution has been examined. Bayes estimates of the scale parameter, θ  , relative to LINEX loss function are obtained. Comparisons in terms of risk functions of those under LINEX loss and squared error loss functions with their respective alternate estimators, viz: Uniformly Minimum Variance Unbiased Estimator (U.M.V.U.E) and Bayes estimators relative to squared error loss function are made. It is found that Bayes estimators relative to squared error loss function dominate the alternative estimators in terms of risk function.

In this paper, Bayes estimators of the parameter of Maxwell distribution have been derived along with maximum likelihood estimator. The non-informative priors; Jeffreys and the extension of Jeffreys prior information has been considered under two different loss functions, the squared error loss function and the modified squared error loss function for comparison purpose. A simulation study has been developed in order to gain an insight into the performance on small, moderate and large samples. The performance of these estimators has been explored numerically under different conditions. The efficiency for the estimators was compared according to the mean square error MSE. The results of comparison by MSE show that the efficiency of Bayes estimators of the shape parameter of the Maxwell distribution decreases with the increase of Jeffreys prior constants. The results also show that values of Bayes estimators are almost close to the maximum likelihood estimator when the Jeffreys prior constants are small, yet they are identical in some certain cases. Comparison with respect to loss functions show that Bayes estimators under the modified squared error loss function has greater MSE than the squared error loss function especially with the increase of r.

In this paper, Bayesian inference is used to estimate the parameters, survival, hazard and alternative hazard rate functions of discrete Gompertz distribution. The Bayes estimators are derived under squared error loss function as a symmetric loss function and linear exponential loss function as an asymmetric loss function. Credible intervals for the parameters, survival, hazard and alternative hazard rate functions are obtained. Bayesian prediction (point and interval) for future observations of discrete Gompertz distribution based on two-sample prediction are investigated. A numerical illustration is carried out to investigate the precision of the theoretical results of the Bayesian estimation and prediction on the basis of simulated and real data. Regarding the results of simulation seems to perform better when the sample size increases and the level of censoring decreases. Also, in most cases the results under the linear exponential loss function is better than the corresponding results under squared error loss function. Two real lifetime data sets are used to insure the simulated results.

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.
