Usually, medical data are generally skewed to the right, and skewed distributions can be the appropriate candidates in making inferences using Bayesian framework. Furthermore, the Bayesian estimators of skewed distribution can be used to tackle the problem of decision-making in medicine and health management under uncertainty. For medical diagnosis, physician can use the Bayesian estimators to quantify the effects of the evidence in increasing the probability that the patient has the particular disease considering the prior information. The present study focuses the development of Bayesian estimators for three-parameter Frechet distribution using noninformative prior and gamma prior under LINEX (linear exponential) and general entropy (GE) loss functions. Since the Bayesian estimators cannot be expressed in closed forms, approximate Bayesian estimates are discussed via Lindley\u2019s approximation. These results are compared with their maximum likelihood counterpart using Monte Carlo simulations. Our results indicate that Bayesian estimators under general entropy loss function with noninformative prior (BGENP) provide the smallest mean square error for all sample sizes and different values of parameters. Furthermore, a data set about the survival times of a group of patients suffering from head and neck cancer is analyzed for illustration purposes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2019\/9089856","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,12]],"date-time":"2019-03-12T19:31:17Z","timestamp":1552419077000},"page":"1-8","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Bayesian
