In this article, we present Bayes estimators for the parameters and reliability function of\u00a0the -Birnbaum-Saunders distribution under both the symmetric (squared error, SE) loss\u00a0function and asymmetric (LINEX and general entropy, GE) loss functions. The Bayes estimators\u00a0can not be obtained in closed form. Approximate Bayes estimators are computed\u00a0using Lindley\u2019s approximation technique. Posterior variance estimates are compared with\u00a0the variance of the maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) of the parameters. The different\u00a0loss functions are compared through posterior risk. A real data set is analyzed for\u00a0illustrative purpose.<\/p>\n
