Posterior Estimates Of Poisson Distribution Using R Software, Raja Sultan, S.P. Ahmad Nov 2012

Posterior Estimates Of Poisson Distribution Using R Software, Raja Sultan, S.P. Ahmad

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

The Bayesian estimation of unknown parameter of the Poisson distribution is examined under different priors. The posterior distributions for the unknown parameter of the Poisson distribution are derived using the following priors: uniform, Jeffrey’s, Gamma distribution, Gamma-Chi-square distribution, Gammaexponential distribution and Chi-square-exponential distribution. Numerical and graphical illustrations of the posterior densities of the parameters of interest were conducted using R Software.


Bayesian Estimation Of Erlang Distribution Under Different Generalized Truncated Distributions As Priors, Adil H. Khan, T.R. Jan Nov 2012

Bayesian Estimation Of Erlang Distribution Under Different Generalized Truncated Distributions As Priors, Adil H. Khan, T.R. Jan

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

Various generalized truncated distributions are considered as independent informative priors for estimating shape and scale parameters of the Erlang distribution. In addition, various special cases are also discussed.
