Bayes estimation based on k-record data from a general class of distributions under balanced type loss functions

TL;DR: In this article, a semi-parametric class of distributions including exponential, Weibull, Pareto, Burr type XII and so on is considered, and the results are presented under the balanced versions of two well-known loss functions, namely squared error loss (SEL) and Varian's linear-exponential (LINEX) loss.

Improving on the minimum risk equivariant estimator of a location parameter which is constrained to an interval or a half-interval

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the Bayes estimator with respect to a uniform prior on (a, ∞) is a minimax estimator which dominates the benchmark minimum risk equivariant estimator.

Bayesian and Robust Bayesian analysis under a general class of balanced loss functions

TL;DR: For estimating an unknown parameter θ, the authors introduce and motivate the use of balanced loss functions of the form $${L_{\rho, \omega, \delta_0}(\theta, δ)+ (1-\omega) \rho(theta) \in[0,1], and q(·) is a positive weight function.

Prediction of k-records from a general class of distributions under balanced type loss functions

TL;DR: In this article, the problem of predicting future k-records based on k-record data for a large class of distributions, which includes several well-known distributions such as: Exponential, Weibull (one parameter), Pareto, Burr type XII, among others, was investigated.

Preliminary test and Stein estimations in simultaneous linear equations

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors formulate the simultaneous equation models into the problem of estimating the regression parameters of a multiple regression model, under elliptical errors, and define five different sorts of estimators for the vector-parameter.

Estimating a Bounded Normal Mean

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that if the interval is small (approximately two standard deviations wide) then the Bayes rule against a two point prior is the unique minimax estimator under squared error loss.

Bayesian and Non-Bayesian Estimation Using Balanced Loss Functions

TL;DR: It is concluded that BLFs and their associated optimal estimates will probably be useful in many estimation problems.

On estimation with balanced loss functions

TL;DR: Gupta et al. as mentioned in this paper studied the notion of balanced loss in the context of a general linear model to reflect both goodness of fit and precision of estimation and showed that frequentist and Bayesian results for balanced loss follow from and also imply related results for quadratic loss functions reflecting only precision of estimations.
