Abstract
Based on a progressive first-failure censoring (PFFC) sample, we discuss the statistical inferences of the entropy of a Rayleigh distribution. In particular, the Maximum likelihood and the different Bayes estimates for entropy are derived and compared via a Monte Carlo simulation study. Bayes estimators are developed using both symmetric and asymmetric loss functions. Approximate confidence intervals (CIs) and credible intervals (CrIs) of the entropy of the model are also performed. Numerical examples and a real data set are given to illustrate the proposed estimators.
期刊介绍:
The journal Statistical Papers addresses itself to all persons and organizations that have to deal with statistical methods in their own field of work. It attempts to provide a forum for the presentation and critical assessment of statistical methods, in particular for the discussion of their methodological foundations as well as their potential applications. Methods that have broad applications will be preferred. However, special attention is given to those statistical methods which are relevant to the economic and social sciences. In addition to original research papers, readers will find survey articles, short notes, reports on statistical software, problem section, and book reviews.
