1 International Journal of Mathematics Trends and Technology IJMTT - Volume 35 Number 3- July 20 Single Stage Shrinkage Estimator for the Shape Parameter of the Pareto Distribution Abbas Najim Salman*, Adel Abdulkadhim Hussein** Department of Mathematics-Ibn-Al-Haitham College of Education - University of Baghdad Abbasnajim@yahoocom* adilabed57@yahoocom** Abstract: In this paper, we employee single stage shrinkage estimator for estimate the shape parameter of the Pareto distribution when the scale parameter is known The proposed estimator is shown to have a smaller mean squared error in a region around when comparison with the usual and existing estimators Keywords: Pareto Distribution, Shrinkage Estimation, Prior Guess, Pre Test Region, Bias, Mean Squared Error and Relative Efficiency Introduction The Model "Pareto distribution is a power law probability distribution that coincides with social, scientific, geophysical and many other types of observable phenomena It is a continuous distribution bounded on the lower side and it has two parameters, shape and mode and it is a highly skewed distribution It is a decreasing function and it has a finite value at the minimum value It is a heavy tailed distribution meaning that a random variable following a Pareto distribution can have extreme values The mode parameter for Pareto distribution sets the position of the left edge of the probability density function The only outcomes that can be observed from this distribution are greater than or equal to the value of the mode parameter Changes in the mode simply shift the boundary to the left or right Pareto distribution named after the Italian economist and sociologist Vilfredo Pareto -923 It was proposed first by Pareto in 97 at the university of Lausanne as a model for the distribution of income The pareto model is very often used as a basis of Excess of loss quotations as it gives a pretty good description of the random behavior of large losses, and often used to model the distribution of income ; [], [7],[],[2] and [] Consider a random sample t, t2,, tn from the Pareto distribution with the following pdf ISSN: Page 5

3 International Journal of Mathematics Trends and Technology IJMTT - Volume 35 Number 3- July 20 Using pre-assigned level of significance, the critical region R for such test is pretest region using specific test statistic, where, i =, 2 is shrinkage weight factors such that 0 and is the usual estimator MLE for example Preliminary test shrinkage estimators 3 have been considered in different contexts by [],[2],[3], [0], [], [5] The aim of this paper is to estimate the shape parameter of pareto distribution using mentioned preliminary test shrinkage estimator 3 and study its behavior when we derived the expressions of its Bias, Mean Square Error and Relative Efficiency and study their performance Numerical results and conclusions for these expressions were made to show the effective of the proposed estimator as well as some comparisons with the usual and existing estimators were made 2 Usual Estimation of the Shape Parameter Let t, t2,, tn be identically independent pareto distributed random variables when the scale parameter is known, then the maximum likelihood estimator of as below: See[2] It follows easily that Ln t will be exponentially distributed with mean / y= will be Gamma distributed with parameters n and ie; y Gn, Therefore, when E Then, we get and var and the mean square error is 2 Single Stage Shrunken Estimator Recall the estimator 3 when Where R is the pre test region for test H0: ISSN: = vs HA: 3 using test statistic Page 5

5 International Journal of Mathematics Trends and Technology IJMTT - Volume 35 Number 3- July 20 9 see [],[2],[3] 3 Numerical Results and Discussion The computations of the statistical indicators Relative Efficiency [REff ] and Bias Ratio [B ] expressions were used for the considered testimators These computations were performed for the constants = 00,005,0, n =,,,0,2 and = and k=exp-n Some of these computations are displayed in attached table for some samples of these constants The observation mentioned in the table leads to the following results: i The Relative Efficiency [REff ] of are adversely proportional with small value of especially when =, ie = 00 yield highest efficiency iithe Relative Efficiency [REff ] of has maximum value when = =, for each n,, and decreasing otherwise This feature shown the important usefulness of prior knowledge which given higher effects of proposed estimator as well as the important role of shrinkage technique iiibias ratio [B ] of increases when increases ivbias ratio [B ] of are reasonably small when = for each n,, and increases otherwise This property shown that the proposed estimator is very close to unbiased property especially when = vthe Relative efficiency [REff ] of increases function with increases value of n for =, and vice versa otherwise for each vithe Effective Interval [the value of that makes REff greater than one] using proposed estimator is [075,25] Here the pretest criterion is very important for guarantee that prior information is very closely to the actual value and prevent it far away from it, which get optimal effect of the considered estimator to obtain high efficiency viithe considered estimator is better than the classical estimator especially when, which is given the effective of and important weight of prior knowledge as well as the increment of efficiency may be reach to tens time viiithe proposed estimator has smaller MSE than some existing estimators introduced by authors, see for examples [] Conclusions From the above discussions it is obvious that by using guess point value one can improve the usual estimator It can be noted that if the guess point is very close to the true value of the parameter ie; =, the proposed estimators perform better than the usual estimator If one has no confidence in the guessed value then proposed preliminary test shrinkage estimators can be suggested We can safely use the proposed estimators for small sample size at usual level of significance and moderate value of shrinkage weight factors ISSN: Page 0
