  • two parameter Rayleigh Distribution different methods of estimation
    American Journal of Mathematical and Management Sciences, 2014
    Co-Authors: Sanku Dey, Tanujit Dey, Debasis Kundu
    Abstract:

    SYNOPTIC ABSTRACTIn this study we have considered different methods of estimation of the unknown parameters of a two-parameter Rayleigh Distribution from both the frequentists' and the Bayesian view points. First, we briefly describe different frequentists' approaches: maximum likelihood estimators, method of moments estimators, L-moment estimators, percentile-based estimators, and least squares estimators, and we compare them using extensive numerical simulations. We have also considered Bayesian inferences of the unknown parameters. It is observed that the Bayes estimates and the associated credible intervals cannot be obtained in explicit forms, and we have suggested using an importance sampling technique to compute the Bayes estimates and the associated credible intervals. We analyze one dataset for illustrative purposes.

  • statistical inference for the Rayleigh Distribution under progressively type ii censoring with binomial removal
    Applied Mathematical Modelling, 2014
    Co-Authors: Sanku Dey, Tanujit Dey
    Abstract:

    Abstract This paper takes into account the estimation for the unknown parameter of the Rayleigh Distribution under Type II progressive censoring with binomial removals, where the number of units removed at each failure time follows a binomial Distribution. Maximum likelihood and Bayes procedure are used to derive both point and interval estimates of the parameters involved in the model. The expected termination point to complete the censoring test is computed and analyzed under binomial censoring scheme. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the approach by means of Monte Carlo simulation. A real life data set is used for illustrative purposes in conclusion.

  • bayesian estimation and prediction intervals for a Rayleigh Distribution under a conjugate prior
    Journal of Statistical Computation and Simulation, 2012
    Co-Authors: Sanku Dey, Tanujit Dey
    Abstract:

    This paper is an effort to obtain Bayes estimators of Rayleigh parameter and its associated risk based on a conjugate prior (square root inverted gamma prior) with respect to both symmetric loss function (squared error loss), and asymmetric loss function (precautionary loss function). We also derive the highest posterior density (HPD) interval for the Rayleigh parameter as well as the HPD prediction intervals for a future observation from this Distribution. An illustrative example to test how the Rayleigh Distribution fits a real data set is presented. Finally, Monte Carlo simulations are performed to compare the performances of the Bayes estimates under different conditions.

  • bayesian estimation of the parameter and reliability function of an inverse Rayleigh Distribution
    2012
    Co-Authors: Sanku Dey
    Abstract:

    In this paper we obtain Bayes’ estimators for the unknown parameter of an Inverse Rayleigh Distribution (IRD). Bayes estimators are obtained under symmetric (squared error (SE) loss) and asymmetric linear exponential loss functions using a non-informative prior. The performance of the estimators is assessed on the basis of their relative risk under the two loss functions. We also obtain the Bayes estimators of the reliability function using both symmetric as well as asymmetric loss functions and compare its performance based on a Monte Carlo simulation study. Finally, a numerical study is provided to illustrate the results.

  • Comparison of Bayes Estimators of the Parameter and Reliability Function for Rayleigh Distribution under Different Loss Functions
    2009
    Co-Authors: Sanku Dey
    Abstract:

    In this paper we derive Bayes’ estimators for the parameter and reliability function of the Rayleigh Distribution. These estimators are obtained on the basis of squared error loss function and LINEX loss function. Comparisons in terms of risks of those under linex loss and squared error loss functions with Bayes estimators relative to squared error loss function have been made. Finally, numerical study is given to illustrate the results.

  • generalized linear failure rate Distribution
    Communications in Statistics-theory and Methods, 2009
    Co-Authors: Amma M Sarha, Debasis Kundu
    Abstract:

    The exponential and Rayleigh are the two most commonly used Distributions for analyzing lifetime data. These Distributions have several desirable properties and nice physical interpretations. Unfortunately, the exponential Distribution only has constant failure rate and the Rayleigh Distribution has increasing failure rate. The linear failure rate Distribution generalizes both these Distributions which may have non increasing hazard function also. This article introduces a new Distribution, which generalizes linear failure rate Distribution. This Distribution generalizes the well-known (1) exponential Distribution, (2) linear failure rate Distribution, (3) generalized exponential Distribution, and (4) generalized Rayleigh Distribution. The properties of this Distribution are discussed in this article. The maximum likelihood estimates of the unknown parameters are obtained. A real data set is analyzed and it is observed that the present Distribution can provide a better fit than some other very well-known ...

  • generalized Rayleigh Distribution
    Computational Statistics & Data Analysis, 2005
    Co-Authors: Debasis Kundu, Mohammad Z Raqab
    Abstract:

    Recently, Surles and Padgett (Lifetime Data Anal., 187-200, 7, 2001) introduced two-parameter Burr Type X Distribution, which can also be described as generalized Rayleigh Distribution. It is observed that this particular skewed Distribution can be used quite effectively in analyzing lifetime data. Different estimation procedures have been used to estimate the unknown parameter(s) and their performances are compared using Monte Carlo simulations.
