Abstract

In this paper, we present a Bayesian approach to find the estimators of fecundability parameter for heterogeneous cohort of women population using non-linear exponential (NLINEX) and linear-exponential (LINEX) loss functions, both are asymmetric. The asymmetry brings about the shift of location of the loss function. A study of the derived estimators are also done
