POSTERIOR ESTIMATES OF TWO PARAMETER EXPONENTIAL DISTRIBUTION USING S-PLUS SOFTWARE
Keywords:
Exponential distribution, Marginal posterior densities, Posterior estimates and S-PLUS Software.Abstract
This paper deals with the Bayesian estimation of parameters of exponential distribution under different priors. The numerical and graphical illustration of posterior densities of the parameters of interest has been done in S-PLUS Software.
