Abstract
Doostparast and Balakrishnan (2010) recently developed optimal confidence intervals as well as uniformly most powerful tests for one- and two-sided hypotheses concerning shape and scale parameters, for the two-parameter Pareto distribution based on record data. In this paper, on the basis of record values and inter-record times from the two-parameter Pareto distribution, maximum likelihood and Bayes estimators as well as credible regions are developed for the two parameters of the Pareto distribution. For illustrative purpose, a data set on annual wages of a sample of production-line workers in a large industrial firm is analyzed using the proposed procedures.
