%0 Journal Article %T A Bayesian Approach for Estimating Parameter of Rayleigh Distribution %A J. Mahanta %A M. B. A. Talukdar %J Journal of Scientific Research %D 2019 %R https://doi.org/10.3329/jsr.v11i1.37065 %X This paper is concerned with estimating the parameter of Rayleigh distribution (special case of two parameters Weibull distribution) by adopting Bayesian approach under squared error (SE), LINEX, MLINEX loss function. The performances of the obtained estimators for different types of loss functions are then compared. Better result is found in Bayesian approach under MLINEX loss function. Bayes risk of the estimators are also computed and presented in graphs %U https://www.banglajol.info/index.php/JSR/article/view/37065
