A comparso based o posteror ad asymptotc varaces s doe usg smulated data. The results obtaed dcate that, the posteror varaces for scale parameter obtaed by Laplace method are smaller tha both the Ldley appromato ad asymptotc varaces of ther MLE couterparts.

Ldley (980 appromato s foud to overestmate the scale parameter ; however the three methods demostrate the tedecy for ther estmates ad varaces to perform better for larger sample sze. Ths s show Fgure whe the sample sze s creased to 00. As the sample sze creases the MLE ad Bayes estmates becomes more cosstet ad accurate. Fgure 3 show the varaces of the estmates of for varyg sze of shape parameter for a sample of 0. It s observed that posteror varaces of estmates of are smaller tha the asymptotc varaces of MLE hece more precse ad accurate. However, both varaces ted to coverge to zero as the value of get larger. For the sample of 0 Terey ad Kadae, (986 Laplace appromato s see to perform slghtly better tha Ldley (980, sce t stablzes faster. Fgure 4 show that Terey ad Kadae, (986 Laplace appromato performed better for larger sample of 00. The varace of MLE are observed to stablze faster whe the sample sze ad shape parameter crease. It s also observed that the Bayesa method geerally performed better for both small ad larger value of tha the MLE couter parts. Ldley (980 ad Laplace methods ted to perform almost smlarly for smaller. But the Terey ad Kadae, (986 Laplace appromato s foud to produce better results tha both MLE ad Ldley (980 for larger ad larger samples szes. CONCLUSION We have show Bayesa techques for estmatg the scale parameter of the two parameter Webull dstrbuto whch produces estmates wth smaller varaces tha the MLE. Terey ad Kadae, (986 Laplace appromato whch requres the secod dervatves ts computato s foud to be more accurate tha the Ldley (980 whch requres thrd dervatves ts computato. Ths s le wth Terey et al (989 fdgs, that Laplace method s more accurate tha the thrd dervatve method of Ldley (980. Eve though the two Bayesa methods are better tha the MLE couter parts, they have ther ow lmtatos. Ldley (980 appromato requres estece of MLE ts computato. Ths appears as f t s a adjustmet to the MLE to reduce varablty. O the other had, Laplace appromato requres estece of a umodal dstrbuto ts computato, hece dffcult to use cases of a mult modal dstrbuto. RECOMMENDATION I ths study, t s oted that the posteror varaces of Bayes estmates are smaller tha asymptotc varaces. Comparg the two Bayesa methods, Terey ad Kadae, (986 Laplace appromato method has smaller varace tha the Ldley (980 appromato techque hece more precse ad accurate. Laplace appromato does ot requre eplct 38

We therefore recommed further work to be doe o two parameter Webull dstrbuto whe both scale ad shape parameters are ukow to vestgate accuracy of the two Bayesa methods. REFERENCES Cohe, A.C.
