Abstract

Bayesian and non-Bayesian methods of estimation are used to make inferences given a random sample of observations from a generalized Burr distribution (GBD). Complete and type II censored samples are considered and inferences are made on the unknown parameters. The one-parameter GBD is also studied. A numerical illustration is provided by means of a numerical example.
