Estimation of Reliability Function of Lomax Distribution via Bayesian Approach

Arun Kumar Rao, Himanshu Pandey, Kusum Lata Singh

Abstract

In this paper Bayes estimation of the reliability function of the Lomax distribution have been obtained by taking non-informative and beta prior distributions. The loss function used is squared error, linex, precautionary and entropy.

Keywords

Lomax distribution, non-informative and beta prior distributions, loss function.
