Reliability Characteristics of the Maxwell Distribution: A Bayes Estimation Study |
|
| Abstract: | ABSTRACT This article presents maximum likelihood, Bayes, and empirical Bayes estimators of the truncated first moment and hazard function of the Maxwell distribution. A comparison of the relative efficiency of these three estimators is performed via a Monte Carlo simulation study. |
