    Abstract: The Bayesian estimation of unknown variance of a normal distribution is examined under different priors using Gibbs sampling approach with an assumption that mean is known. The posterior distributions for the unknown variance of the Normal distribution were derived using the following priors: Inverse Gamma distribution, Inverse Chi-square distribut... Show More

    Abstract: The literature presents a large number of very different ways to diagnose, predict and classify. In support of their usefulness and effectiveness, various parameters are often used, from a large number of them, which are not always necessary and sufficient, since they do not unequivocally characterize efficiency. The purpose of this work was to bui... Show More
