Minimax Estimation of the Scale Parameter of the Laplace Distribution under Different Loss Function

Abstract

In this paper, we obtained Minimax estimators of the scale parameter θ for the Laplace distribution under different loss function by applying the theorem of Lehmann [1950]. Some Bayes estimators for the unknown scale parameter θ of Laplace distribution have been obtained, using Non-informative prior (Jeffreys) and Informative priors (Gumbel Type II) under different loss function, represented by (Quadratic loss function, Squared – log error loss function, Entropy loss function). According to Monte-Carlo simulation study, the performance of these estimates is compared depending on the mean squared errors (MSE’s).
