Abstract: Bayes' estimators of inverse
Rayleigh parameters and the associated reliability function have been obtained and the estimators are compared with their maximum likelihood counterpart. Credible intervals and highest posterior density intervals tor the parameter and the reliability
function are derived.
Key Words: Credible interval, Highest Posterior Density, Prior· Posterior
distribution. Maximum likelihood, Uniformly
