Abstract

In this work, we introduce an objective prior based on the kernel density estimation to eliminate the subjectivity of the Bayesian estimation for information other than data. For comparing the kernel prior with the informative gamma prior, the mean squared error and the mean percentage error for the generalized exponential (GE) distribution parameters estimations are studied using both symmetric and asymmetric loss functions via Monte Carlo simulations. The simulation results indicated that the kernel prior outperforms the informative gamma prior. Finally, a numerical example is given to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed priors.
