In this paper, we estimate a shape parameter of the Weibull-Frechet distribution by considering the Bayesian approach under two non-informative priors using three different loss functions. We derive the corresponding posterior distributions for the shape parameter of the Weibull-Frechet distribution assuming that the other three parameters are known. The Bayes estimators and associated posterior               risks have also been derived using the three different loss functions. The performance of the Bayes estimators are evaluated and compared using a comprehensive simulation study and a real life application to find out the combination of a loss function and a prior having the minimum Bayes risk and hence producing the best results. In conclusion, this study reveals that in order to estimate the parameter in question, we should use quadratic loss function under either of the two non-informative priors used in this study.

In this study, Frechet distribution has been studied by using Bayesian analysis. Posterior distribution has been derived by using gamma and exponential. Bayes estimators and their posterior risks has been derived using five different loss functions. Elicitation of hyperparameters has been done by using prior predictive distributions. Simulation study is carried out to study the behavior of posterior distribution. Quasi quadratic loss function and exponential prior are found better among all.

<div><p>In this paper, Frechet distribution under Bayesian paradigm is studied. Posterior distributions are derived by using Gumbel Type-II and Levy prior. Quadrature numerical integration technique is utilized to solve posterior distribution. Bayes estimators and their risks have been obtained by using four loss functions. Prior predictive distributions are derived for elicitation of hyperparameters. The performance of Bayes estimators are compared by using Monte Carlo simulation study.</p></div>

The Frechet distribution which has a scale and shape parameters, has been found to have wide application in modelling extreme events such as radioactive emission, flood, rainfall, seismic analysis, wind speed, etc. In this research paper, the Bayesian analysis of scale parameter of Frechet distribution was considered. It is necessary to know the best combination of prior distribution and loss function for the parameter estimation. Posterior distribution was derived by uniform and Jeffrey’s prior under the square error, Precautionary, Quadratic and Weighted balance loss function. Bayes estimation and their corresponding risk was obtained by the above stated priors and loss function. Monte Carlo simulations was conducted to compare the performance of the estimators. It is evident that weighted balance loss function when used with uniform prior provides the least posterior risk.Keywords: Frechet Distribution, Non-Informative Prior, Bayesian Estimation, Loss Functions, Monte Carlo Simulations

In this paper, length-biased weighted Frechet 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.

AbstractIn this paper, a bivariate extension of exponentiated Fréchet distribution is introduced, namely a bivariate exponentiated Fréchet (BvEF) distribution whose marginals are univariate exponentiated Fréchet distribution. Several properties of the proposed distribution are discussed, such as the joint survival function, joint probability density function, marginal probability density function, conditional probability density function, moments, marginal and bivariate moment generating functions. Moreover, the proposed distribution is obtained by the Marshall-Olkin survival copula. Estimation of the parameters is investigated by the maximum likelihood with the observed information matrix. In addition to the maximum likelihood estimation method, we consider the Bayesian inference and least square estimation and compare these three methodologies for the BvEF. A simulation study is carried out to compare the performance of the estimators by the presented estimation methods. The proposed bivariate distribution with other related bivariate distributions are fitted to a real-life paired data set. It is shown that, the BvEF distribution has a superior performance among the compared distributions using several tests of goodness–of–fit.

The paper gives a description of estimation for the reliability function of weighted Weibull distribution. The maximum likelihood estimators for the unknown parameters are obtained. Nonparametric methods such as empirical method, kernel density estimator and a modified shrinkage estimator are provided. The Markov chain Monte Carlo method is used to compute the Bayes estimators assuming gamma and Jeffrey priors. The performance of the maximum likelihood, nonparametric methods and Bayesian estimators is assessed through a real data set.
