Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBayesian Estimation for Lomax Distribution: A Comparison of Loss Functions Using Jeffreys PriorsHuda Mohammed AlomariThis study investigates the estimation of the shape parameter for the Lomax distribution using complete data. We compare the performance of the classical Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) method against the Bayesian framework. Within the Bayesian approach, three distinct loss functions were utilized: the linear exponential (LINEX), general entropy, and weighted general entropy loss functions. The precision of these estimators was … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 24 Dec 2025 · 2,635 accessesView PDFCite
