Abstract

The process capability index $C_p$ decides about the capability of an ongoing process in manufacturing. Bayesian literature reveals that the estimators of $C_p^2$ have inverse gamma (IG) distribution under normal model when variance has IG prior. In this paper, Bayesian estimators are proposed for $C_p$ when it has various priors. The properties of the proposed estimators are investigated. Metropolis-Hastings algorithm is utilized to establish the conjugacy of gamma distribution.
