Abstract
We formulate closed-form Bayesian estimators for two complementary Poisson rate parameters using double sampling with data subject to misclassification and error free data. We also derive closed-form Bayesian estimators for two misclassification parameters in the modified Poisson model we assume. We use our results to determine credible sets for the rate and misclassification parameters. Additionally, we use MCMC methods to determine Bayesian estimators for three or more rate parameters and the misclassification parameters. We also perform a limited Monte Carlo simulation to examine the characteristics of these estimators. We demonstrate the efficacy of the new Bayesian estimators and highest posterior density regions with examples using two real data sets.
