Abstract

In this study, the shape parameter of the weighted Inverse Maxwell distribution is estimated by employing Bayesian techniques. To produce posterior distributions, the extended Jeffery's prior and the Erlang prior are utilised. The estimators are derived from the squared error loss function, the entropy loss function, the precautionary loss function, and the Linex loss function. Furthermore, an actual data set is studied to assess the effectiveness of various estimators under distinct loss functions.
