Bayesian estimation and prediction based on Rayleigh record data with applications

Abstract Based on a record sample from the Rayleigh model, we consider the problem of estimating the scale and location parameters of the model and predicting the future unobserved record data. Maximum likelihood and Bayesian approaches under different loss functions are used to estimate the model’s parameters. The Gibbs sampler and Metropolis-Hastings methods are used within the Bayesian procedures to draw the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) …
