Estimation of the parameter in an Exponential Distribution using a LINEX Loss

  • Published : 2002.10.31

Abstract

A Bayes estimator of the scale parameter in an exponential distribution will be considered by a LINEX error, then the risk of the Bayes estimator using a LINEX loss will be compared with that of a Bayes estimator using a square error.
