Parameter estimation of p-dimensional Rayleigh distribution under weighted loss function

Arun Kumar Rao, Himanshu Pandey

Abstract


In this paper, p-dimensional Rayleigh distribution is considered. The classical maximum likelihood estimator has been obtained. Bayesian method of estimation is employed in order to estimate the scale parameter of p-dimensional Rayleigh distribution by using quasi and inverted gamma priors. The Bayes estimators of the scale parameter have been obtained under squared error and weighted loss functions.
