Bayesian Estimation of the Scale Parameter of a Maxwell Distribution under Asymmetric Loss Functions with Censoring

Abstract

The Bayes estimator of the scale parameter of the Maxwell distribution using the squared error, linex, precautionary and entropy loss functions under quasi, natural conjugate and uniform prior distributions have been proposed with the help of type II censored sample.An attempt has been made to obtain the risk functions and corresponding Bayes risks of the estimators for comparing relative efficiency of the procedures
