Abstract: In this paper, we are concerned with estimating the parameters
of the 2-Weibull distribution by Bayesian estimation. We present the posterior
distribution using the likelihood function and the joint prior distribution on
the parameters. Also we introduce an information prior or invariance prior for
the parameters and present some numerical results for estimating the parameters,
using the Bayesian approach. |
Keywords and phrases: Keywords and phrases: Weibull distribution, Bayesian
estimation, posterior distribution, information prior. |
