1. INTRODUCTION
Let us consider the inflated geometric distribution whose probability density function is defined by
Where (Singh, Dixit and Roy, 2015). We have
and Thus,
The object of the present paper is to obtain a Bayes estimator of the parameters α and p under different loss functions using a beta prior distribution. A commonly used loss function is the squared error loss function (SELF)
The Bayes estimator under the above loss
function is the posterior mean, say,
Norstrom
(1996) introduced an alternative asymmetric precautionary loss function and also presented a general class of precautionary loss
functions with quadratic loss function as a special case. A
very useful and simple asymmetric precautionary loss function is given
as
The Bayes estimator under precautionary
loss function is denoted by
In many practical situations, it appears to be more
realistic to express the loss in terms of the ratio Where
The Bayes estimator under entropy loss
function is denoted by
Since
α and p lies between 0 and 1
so that we may take conjugate prior i.e., Beta distribution

CONCLUSION
In this paper, we have obtained a number of Bayes estimator of parameters of inflated
geometric distribution. In equations (13)-(15) we have obtained the Bayes
estimators of α and in equations
(17)-(19), the Bayes estimators of p
under joint beta prior. In the above equation, it is clear
that the Bayes estimators depends upon the parameters of the prior
distribution. In this case the risk functions and corresponding Bayes risks
does not exist. SOURCES OF FUNDINGNone. CONFLICT OF INTERESTNone. ACKNOWLEDGMENTNone.
