Bayes estimation of shape parameter of classical pareto distribution under livex loss function

B.N. Pandey, Brijesh Pratap Singh, C.S. Mishra

Abstract

The Bayesian estimator for the shape parameter of Pareto distribution using LINEX loss function has been obtained. The properties of the estimator in respect of risk have been studied and it is found that the LINEX estimator is preferable to the squared error estimator for specific values of c nearer to zero.
