Abstract

An objective Bayesian estimation procedure of the two-parameter Pareto distribution is presented under the reference prior and the noninformative prior. Bayesian estimators are obtained by Gibbs sampling. The steps to generate parameters in the Gibbs sampler are from the shape parameter of the gamma distribution and then the scale parameter by the adaptive rejection sampling algorism. A numerical study shows that the proposed objective Bayesian estimation outperforms other estimations in simulated bias and mean squared error.

본 연구에서는 2-모수 파레토분포에 대해 무정보사전분포인 준거사전분포의 가정 하에서 객관적 베이지안 모수추정 절차를 제안하였다. 베이지안 추정은 깁스샘플링에 의해서 수행된다. 깁스샘플러에서 모수생성하는 방법은 형태모수는 감마분포로부터 생성하고 척도모수는 적응기각표집 알고리즘에 의해 생성한다. 제안된 베이지안 모수추정 절차는 모의실험과 자료분석에서 기존의 추정방법들인 L-적률추정법, 최우추정법, 공액사전분포 하의 주관적 베이지안 모수추정법과 비교된다.
