Bayesian Approach to Estimating the Burr Type III Distribution of Three Parameters and Application to Arthritis Relief Times Data
Alexander K. Kim

Abstract
In this paper, the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm is applied to find Bayes estimates of three parameters of the Burr Type III distribution. The Metropolis-Hastings algorithm is a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method to sample from distributions that cannot easily be sampled from by other means. Using this same algorithm, arthritis relief times data is analyzed.
