Bayesian Estimation of the Parameters of the Odd Generalized Exponentiated - Inverse Exponential Distribution (OGE -IED)

Treng Kirnan Gayus & Sani Ibrahim Doguwa · Asian Journal of Probability and Statistics · 2022

The Odd Generalized Exponentiated-Inverse Exponential Distribution, a three parameter distribution, is a hybrid of the Generalized Exponential distribution. Each of the parameters were assigned a gamma prior independently resulting to a posterior distribution that is mathematical...
