A Study of Length Biased Weighted Nakagami Distribution

Farzana Kousar, Ahmed Zogo Memon

Abstract



The Length Biased Weighted Nakagami Distribution is derived in this paper from Nakagami distribution by using Fisher’s procedure of weighting. Various properties of this distribution are found that include hazard rate and Shannon entropy. The estimation of its scale and shape
parameters by MLE is discussed through simulation procedures. Bayesian estimates of this parameter based on a uniform prior distribution are presented, and their performance is assessed. The proposed distribution is applied to two real data sets.

Keywords


weighted distribution, nakagami distribution, mean residual life, cumulative hazard rate, Shannon Entropy.

Disclaimer/Regarding indexing issue:

We have provided the online access of all issues and papers to the indexing agencies (as given on journal web site). It’s depend on indexing agencies when, how and what manner they can index or not. Hence, we like to inform that on the basis of earlier indexing, we can’t predict the today or future indexing policy of third party (i.e. indexing agencies) as they have right to discontinue any journal at any time without prior information to the journal. So, please neither sends any question nor expects any answer from us on the behalf of third party i.e. indexing agencies.Hence, we will not issue any certificate or letter for indexing issue. Our role is just to provide the online access to them. So we do properly this and one can visit indexing agencies website to get the authentic information. Also: DOI is paid service which provided by a third party. We never mentioned that we go for this for our any journal. However, journal have no objection if author go directly for this paid DOI service.
