Baye’s Estimation of the Parameters and Reliability Function of Two-Parameter Weibull Distribution

Vinod Kumar , Himanil Joshi , Jitendra Kumar

Abstract

In this paper, Baye’s estimators of the shape parameter (α), scale parameter (β) and reliability function of two-parameter Weibull distribution have been obtained under different priors by using squared error loss functions (SELF). A comparison of the two methods has been made and the results are illustrated using simulation for random samples of different sizes drawn from the two-parameter Weibull distribution with known values of shape parameter (α) and scale parameter (β). A real dataset has also been used to illustrate the results.
