چکیده
ABSTRACT This paper studies the performance of the unrestricted estimator (UE) and preliminary test estimator (PTE) of the slope parameter of simple linear regression model under linex loss function. The risk functions of both the UE and PTE are derived. The moment generating function (MGF) of the PTE is derived which turns out to be a component of the risk function. From the MGF the first two moments of the PTE are obtained and found to be identical to that obtained by using a different approach in Khan et al. (2002). The performance of the PTE is compared with that of the UE by using the analytical and graphical as well as the numerical methods. It is revealed that if the uncertain non-sample prior information about the value of the slope is not too far from its true value then the PTE outperforms the UE.

Estimating a Bounded Normal Mean Under the LINEX Loss Function
Let X be a random variable from a normal distribution with unknown mean θ and known variance σ2. In many practical situations, θ is known in advance to lie in an interval, say [−m,m], for some m > 0. As the usual estimator of θ, i.e., X under the LINEX loss function is inadmissible, finding some competitors for X becomes worthwhile. The only study in the literature considered the problem of min...

Shrinkage preliminary test estimation in exponential distribution under a precautionary loss function is considered. The minimum risk-unbiased estimator is derived and some shrinkage preliminary test estimators are proposed. We apply our results on censored data and records. The relative efficiencies of proposed estimators with respect to the minimum ‎risk-unbiased‎&...
متن کاملBayesian Estimation for the Pareto Income Distribution under Asymmetric LINEX Loss Function
The use of the Pareto distribution as a model for various socio-economic phenomena dates back to the late nineteenth century. In this paper, after some necessary preliminary results we deal with Bayes estimation of some of the parameters of interest under an asymmetric LINEX loss function, using suitable choice of priors when the scale parameter is known and unknown. Results of a Monte C...

متن کاملBayesian Estimation of Shift Point in Shape Parameter of Inverse Gaussian Distribution Under Different Loss Functions
In this paper, a Bayesian approach is proposed for shift point detection in an inverse Gaussian distribution. In this study, the mean parameter of inverse Gaussian distribution is assumed to be constant and shift points in shape parameter is considered. First the posterior distribution of shape parameter is obtained. Then the Bayes estimators are derived under a class of priors and using variou...
