Admissibility Estimation of Pareto Distribution Under Entropy Loss Function Based on Progressive Type-II Censored Sample

The aim of this paper is to study the estimation of Pareto distribution on the basis of progressive type-II censored sample. First, the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) is derived. Then the Bayes estimator of the unknown parameter of Pareto distribution is derived on the basis of Gamma prior distribution under entropy loss function. Further the empirical Bayes estimator also obtained by using maximum likelihood on the basis of Bayes estimator. Finally, the admissibility of a class of inverse linear estimators are discussed under suitable conditions.
