BAYESIAN ESTIMATION USING LINDLEY'S APPROXIMATION OF INVERTED KUMARASWAMY DISTRIBUTION BASED ON LOWER RECORD VALUES.

In this paper, we have considered estimation of unknown parameters based on lower record values for Inverted Kumaraswamy distribution. Maximum likelihood and approximate Bayes estimators based on lower record values for unknown parameters of this distribution are obtained. Lindley's approximation (L-approximation) is used to obtain approximate Bayes estimators under DeGroot loss function based on lower record values. A Simulation study and a real data analysis are presented to illustrate the results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
