Bayesian duality and risk analysis on the statistical manifold of exponential family with censored data

作者:

Highlights:

• The reliability function of the exponential family is defined in a more general form.

• The dual coordinate system and dual function are obtained. Then the dualistic structure on the manifold is derived.

• The maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) is obtained by minimizing the Bregman divergence.

• The Bayesian duality on the manifold is investigated, and the Bayesian estimators are provided.

• Take gamma distribution as an example, we give the exact results for the dual coordinate system and dual function.
