Abstract

In statistical decision-making, when Bayes estimator is used as the unknown parameter’s estimation, there often exists certain loss. Then the aim of this paper is to study the Bayes estimation for the loss and risk functions of parameter of Maxwell distribution under Rukhin’s loss function. Bayes estimator is derived on the basis of the inverse gamma prior distribution under squared error loss function. Then Bayes estimators of loss and risk function are obtained, respectively. Finally, the conditions of Bayes estimators being conservative are also derived.
