Bayesian predictive analysis for Lindley distribution with various priors

B. Balachandar, G. Meenakshi

Abstract



Bayesian analysis provides a distinctive approach to forecasting by allowing the integration of current data with existing predictions. This method improves the reliability of predictions by effectively addressing uncertainties, offering an edge over traditional forecasting techniques. In this study, we derive the predictive density using the Lindley distribution under various prior assumptions, including conjugate, quasi, uniform, and non-informative priors. The results underscore the effectiveness of Bayesian predictive methods in generating more accurate and credible predictions.

Keywords


likelihood function, posterior distribution and predictive density.

Disclaimer/Regarding indexing issue:

We have provided the online access of all issues and papers to the indexing agencies (as given on journal web site). It’s depend on indexing agencies when, how and what manner they can index or not. Hence, we like to inform that on the basis of earlier indexing, we can’t predict the today or future indexing policy of third party (i.e. indexing agencies) as they have right to discontinue any journal at any time without prior information to the journal. So, please neither sends any question nor expects any answer from us on the behalf of third party i.e. indexing agencies.Hence, we will not issue any certificate or letter for indexing issue. Our role is just to provide the online access to them. So we do properly this and one can visit indexing agencies website to get the authentic information. Also: DOI is paid service which provided by a third party. Journal never mentioned that we have DOI number. However, to get free DOI, author can register your work which published with Zonodo (https://zenodo.org/signup/). We have no objection for this open access repository.
