Estimation of P (Y < X) in a Four-Parameter Generalized Gamma Distribution

چکیده
Abstract: In this paper we consider estimation of R = P (Y < X), when X and Y are distributed as two independent four-parameter generalized gamma random variables with same location and scale parameters. A modified maximum likelihood method and a Bayesian technique have been used to estimate R on the basis of independent samples. As the Bayes estimator cannot be obtained in a closed form, it has been implemented using importance sampling procedure. A simulation study has also been carried out to compare the two methods.

Admissible Estimators of ?r in the Gamma Distribution with Truncated Parameter Space
In this paper, we consider admissible estimation of the parameter ?r in the gamma distribution with truncated parameter space under entropy loss function. We obtain the classes of admissible estimators. The result can be applied to estimation of parameters in the normal, lognormal, pareto, generalized gamma, generalized Laplace and other distributions.

متن کاملInference on Pr(X > Y ) Based on Record Values From the Power Hazard Rate Distribution
In this article, we consider the problem of estimating the stress-strength reliability $Pr (X > Y)$ based on upper record values when $X$ and $Y$ are two independent but not identically distributed random variables from the power hazard rate distribution with common scale parameter $k$. When the parameter $k$ is known, the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE), the approximate Bayes estimator and ...
متن کاملOn Symmetric Extended Generalized Logistic Distribution
In this paper, we consider a form of the generalized logistic distribution named symmetric extended generalized logistic distribution or extended type III generalized logistic distribution. The distribution is derived by compounding a two-parameter generalized Gumbel distribution with a two-parameter generalized gamma distribution. The cumulative distribution and some properties of this distrib...
