E-Bayesian and Hierarchical Bayesian Estimations for the Inverse Weibull Distribution

In this paper new formulas for E-Bayesian and hierarchical Bayesian estimations of the parameter and reliability of the inverse Weibull distribution are obtained in closed forms. To illustrate the applicability of the obtained results, simulated and real data are used which illustrate that E-Bayesian estimate gives superior performance much better than hierarchical Bayesian for the estimate of the parameter of the inverse Weibull distribution.
