Abstract:
The performance of Bayes estimators depend on the form of the prior distribution and the assumed loss function. This paper resolves the problem of estimation of one parameter decapitated generalized Poisson distribution; using a class of improper prior distributions under symmetric and asymmetric loss functions. The statistical performances of the Bayes estimates with respect to different priors and loss functions are illustrated for a data set and a simulation study.
