Abstract

Generalized maximum likelihood estimators are obtained for the parameters of gamma distribution and for some inequality measures viz. Gini index and Theil’s entropy measure using different priors. The said estimators using different priors are compared in terms of their relative efficiency using mean square error through simulation study.
