ANALISIS SURVIVAL UNTUK PARAMETER SKALA DARI DISTRIBUSI WEIBULL MENGGUNAKAN MLE DAN METODE BAYESIAN

Abstract

Modeling of survival data is necessary and important to do. Survival data is generally assumed to have a Weibull distribution. Bayesian approach has been implemented to estimate the parameter in such this survival analysis. This study purposes to compare the performance of the Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian using Invers Gamma as prior conjugate for estimating the survival function of scale parameter of Weibull distribution. The comparisons are made through simulation study. The best performance of both estimators is chosen based on the lowest value of absolute bias and the mean square error. Two different size samples are generated to illustrate the life time data which are used in this study. This study results that maximum likelihood is the best estimator compared to Bayes with Invers Gamma distribution as conjugate prior.
