The posterior predictive distribution for a future observation and the Bayesian predictive interval are constructed. In addition, the limiting expressions for the Bayes estimatorsand posterior risks are derived.Simulated data sets are designed for thecomparisons and the model is finally illustrated using the real data.}, keywords = {Bayesian analysis,Burr distribution,Uniform and Jeffreys’ priors,Posterior risk,Predictive interval,Censored data}, url = {https://scientiairanica.sharif.edu/article_3963.html}, eprint = {https://scientiairanica.sharif.edu/article_3963_7dd0f4e2e69d3fb25560909b67aa92d8.pdf} }
