The measure of entropy has an undeniable pivotal role in the field of information theory. This article estimates the Rényi and q-entropies of the power function distribution in the presence of s outliers. The maximum likelihood estimators as well as the Bayesian estimators under uniform and gamma priors are derived. The proposed Bayesian estimators of entropies under symmetric and asymmetric loss functions are obtained. These estimators are computed empirically using Monte Carlo simulation based on Gibbs sampling. Outcomes of the study showed that the precision of the maximum likelihood and Bayesian estimates of both entropies measures improves with sample sizes. The behavior of both entropies estimates increase with number of outliers. Further, Bayesian estimates of the Rényi and q-entropies under squared error loss function are preferable than the other Bayesian estimates under the other loss functions in most of cases. Eventually, real data examples are analyzed to illustrate the theoretical results.

Power Function Distribution

The objective of this study is to examine the properties of Bayes estimators of the shape parameter of the Power Function Distribution (PFD-I), by using two different prior distributions for the parameter θ and different loss functions that were compared with the maximum likelihood estimators. In many practical applications, we may have two different prior information about the prior distribution for the shape parameter of the Power Function Distribution, which influences the parameter estimation. So, we used two different kinds of conjugate priors of shape parameter θ of the Power Function Distribution (PFD-I) to estimate it. The conjugate prior function of the shape parameter θ was considered as a combination of two different prior distributions such as gamma distribution with Erlang distribution and Erlang distribution with exponential distribution and Erlang distribution with non-informative distribution and exponential distribution with the non-informative distribution. We derived Bayes estimators for shape parameter θ of the Power Function Distribution (PFD-I) according to different loss functions such as the squared error loss function (SELF), the weighted error loss function (WSELF) and modified linear exponential (MLINEX) loss function (MLF), with two different double priors. In addition to the classical estimation (maximum likelihood estimation). We used simulation to get the results of this study, for different cases of the shape parameter of the Power Function Distribution used to generate data for different samples sizes.

The power function distribution is a flexible waiting time model that may provide better fit for some failure data. This paper presents the comparison of the maximum likelihood estimates and the Bayes estimates of two-parameter power function distribution. The Bayes estimates are obtained, using conjugate priors, under five loss functions consist of square error, precautionary, weighted, LINEX and DeGroot loss function. The Gibbs sampling algorithm is proposed to generate samples from posterior distributions and in result the Bayes estimates are computed. The comparison of the maximum likelihood estimates and the Bayes estimates are done through the root mean squared errors. One real-life data set is analyzed to illustrate the evaluation of proposed methods of estimation. Finally, results from the simulation are discussed to assess the performance behavior of the maximum likelihood estimates and the Bayes estimates.

In this article, we present the selective order statistic sampling scheme as a promising approach to estimate the parameter of the univariate power function distribution. We derive the maximum likelihood estimator and the method of moments estimator of the power function distribution parameter as well as the reliability parameter and the ratio of two means. Moreover, we derive the asymptotic properties of the proposed estimators. Finally, we conduct simulation studies to investigate the performance of the selective order statistic scheme and concluded that it suits the power function distribution and we found that the maximum likelihood estimator is better than the method of moments estimator under the selective order statistic sampling scheme.

Lower Record Values

A variety of research papers have been published on record values from various continuous distributions. This paper investigated lower record values from the size-biased power function distribution (LR-SPFD). Some basic properties including moments, skewness, kurtosis, Shannon entropy, cumulative distribution function, survival function and hazard function of the lower record values from SPFD have been discussed. The joint probability density function (pdf) of $n^{th}$ and $m^{th}$ lower record values from SPFD is developed. Recurrence relations of the single and product moments of the LR-SPFD have been derived. A characterization of the lower record values from SPFD is also developed.
