Abstract EN

In this study, we used Bayesian method to estimate scale parameter (σ θ) for the normal distribution.

By considering three different prior distributions such as the square root inverted gamma (SRIG) distribution and the non-informative prior distribution and the natural conjugate family of priors.

The Bayesian estimation based on squared error loss function, and compared it with the classical estimation methods to estimate the scale parameter for the normal distribution, such as the maximum likelihood estimation and the moment estimation.

Several cases from normal distribution for data generating, or different sample sizes (small, medium, and large).

The results were obtained by using simulation technique, Programs written using MATLAB-R2008a program were used .Simulation results shown that bayes estimation when the prior distribution is (SRIG) distribution with (a=3, b=1) for (σ θ 0.5) , and with (a=b=3) for (θ 1) , and with (a=2, b=3) for (θ 2) , and with (a=1, b=3) for (θ 4) gives the smallest value of MSE and MAPE for all sample sizes.
