Bayesian estimation of mixed Weibull distributions
Estimation of mixed Weibull distribution by maximum likelihood estimation and other methods is frequently difficult due to unstable estimates arising from limited data. Bayesian techniques can stabilize these estimates through the priors, but there is no closed-form conjugate family for the Weibull distribution. This paper reduces the number of numeric integrations required for using Bayesian e...
متن کاملBayesian entropy estimation for countable discrete distributions
We consider the problem of estimating Shannon’s entropy H from discrete data, in cases where the number of possible symbols is unknown or even countably infinite. The Pitman-Yor process, a generalization of Dirichlet process, provides a tractable prior distribution over the space of countably infinite discrete distributions, and has found major applications in Bayesian non-parametric statistics...
متن کاملEM Algorithms for nonparametric estimation of mixing distributions
This paper describes and implements three computationally attractive procedures for nonparametric estimation of mixing distributions in discrete choice models. The procedures are specific types of the well known EM (Expectation-Maximization) algorithm based on three different ways of approximating the mixing distribution nonparametrically: (1) a discrete distribution with mass points and freque...
متن کاملBayesian Estimation of Reliability of the Electronic Components Using Censored Data from Weibull Distribution: Different Prior Distributions
The Weibull distribution has been widely used in survival and engineering reliability analysis. In life testing experiments is fairly common practice to terminate the experiment before all the items have failed, that means the data are censored. Thus, the main objective of this paper is to estimate the reliability function of the Weibull distribution with uncensored and censored data by using B...
متن کاملBayesian Estimation of Erlang Distribution under Different Prior Distributions
Abstract This paper addresses the problem of Bayesian estimation of the parameters of Erlang distribution under squared error loss function by assuming different independent informative priors as well as joint priors for both shape and scale parameters. The motivation is to explore the most appropriate prior for Erlang distribution among different priors. A comparison of the Bayes estimates and...
