Abstract

The present paper discusses the problem of estimating the reliability measures of geometric distribution when the sample contains discordant observations. Bayes point estimators of the reliability measures of geometric distribution under the identified, exchangeable and censored models are obtained in the presence of outliers. The performances of the proposed estimators have been compared, in terms of bias and mean square error, using simulated data.
