Abstract :
The main idea of this review article is to review different univariate Bayesian frailty model, discussed by some authors, such as estimation of negative binomial distribution with Bayesian prior distribution as beta, Bayesian frailty estimation of Poisson distribution with gamma as frailty prior distribution, Bayesian frailty estimation of gamma distribution with gamma as frailty prior distribution, Bayesian frailty estimation of univariate normal distribution with frailty prior distribution as gamma and Bayesian estimation of inverse Gaussian distribution with uniform prior frailty model. In all these Bayesian estimation squared error loss function is used.

Key-Words / Index Term :
