In this paper, statistical estimation of the parameters of the bivariate exponential distribution are studied. Bayes estimators of the parameters are obtained and compared with the maximum likelihood estimators which are introduced by Freund. We know that the method of moments estimators coincide with the maximum likelihood estimators and Bayes estimators are more efficient than the maximum likelihood estimators in moderate samples. The asymptotic distributions of the maximum likelihood estimators and the estimator of mean time to system failure are obtained.

This paper derives maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) and some approximate MLEs (AMLEs) of unknown parameters of the generalized exponential distribution when data are lower record values. We derive approximate Bayes estimators through importance sampling and obtain corresponding Bayes predictive intervals for unknown parameters for lower record values from the generalized exponential distribution. For illustrative purposes, we examine the validity of the proposed estimation method by using real and simulated data.

Jelinski-Moranda model and modified Jelinski-Moranda model in software reliability are studied and we consider maximum likelihood estimator and Bayes estimates of the number of faults and the fault-detection rate per fault. A gibbs sampling approach is employed to compute the Bayes estimates, future survival function is examined. Model selection based on prequential likelihood of the conditional predictive ordinates. A numerical example with simulated data set is given.

We shall propose several Bayes estimators for reliability of a two-unit hot standby system with the imperfect switch based upon a complete sample of failure times observed from an exponential distribution, and the proposed reliability Bayesian estimators are compared numerically each other in sense of mean squared error.

Consider the problem of estimating a multivariate normal mean with an unknown covarience matrix under a weighted sum of squared error losses. We first provide hierarchical Bayes estimators which shrink the usual (maximum liklihood, uniformly minimum variance unbiased) estimator towards a regression surface and then prove the admissibility of these estimators using Blyth's (1951) method.

In this paper, we examine the problem of estimating the sensitive characteristics and behaviors in a multinomial randomized response model using Bayesian approach. We derived a posterior distribution for parameter of interest for multinomial randomized response model. Based on the posterior distribution, we also calculated a credible intervals and mean squared error (MSE). We finally compare the maximum likelihood estimator and the Bayes estimator in terms of MSE.

Reliability estimation using Gibbs sampler considered for modeling mixture exponential reliability problems. Gibbs sampler is developed to compute the features of the posterior distribution. Bayesian estimation of complicated functions requires simpler esti-mation techniques due to the mathematical difficulties involved in the Bayes approach. The Maximum likelihood estimator and the Gibbs estimator of reliability of the system are derived. By simula-tion risk behaviors of derived estimators are compared. model de-termination based on relative error is considered. A numerical study with a simulated data set is provided.

When X and Y have independent normal distributions with equal coefficient of variation, we develop the reference priors for different groups of ordering for the parameters. Propriety of posteriors under reference priors proved. A real example is presented to compare the classical estimator and Bayes estimator.

A problem of estimating the means of Poisson populations using independent samples is considered. The total loss is the sum of component, normalized squared error losses. An empirical Bayes estimator is derived and compared, by Monte Carlo methods, with existing estimators which are proposed as improving estimators upon the usual one. Monte Carlo results show that the performance of the derived estimator is satisfactory over the whole parameter space.

A Bayes estimator of the survival distribution function due to Susarla and Van Ryzin(1976) is used to estimate the mth moment of a survival time on the basis of censored observations in a random censorship model. Asymptotic normality of the estimator is proved using the functional version of the delta method.
