E-Bayesian and Robust Bayesian Estimation and Prediction for the Exponential Distribution based on Record Values

This article deals with the problem of E-Bayesian and robust Bayesian estimation and prediction in the exponential distribution on the basis of record observations under the squared log error loss function. The E-Bayesian and robust Bayesian estimators of the scale parameter are computed and their performances are investigated using a simulation study. We extend the idea of E-Bayesian estimation to the E-Bayesian prediction of future record observation and perform a simulation study using a prequential analysis for comparison of proposed E-Bayesian and robust Bayesian predictors. Two real data sets are analyzed for illustrating the estimation and prediction results.
