Parameter Estimation of Nakagami Distribution under Weighted Loss Function

Arun Kumar Rao, Himanshu Pandey

Abstract


In this paper, the Nakagami distribution is considered for Bayesian analysis. The expressions for Bayes estimators of the scale parameter have been derived under squared error and weighted loss functions by using quasi and inverted gamma priors.
