    Abstract: Based on the record samples, the empirical Bayes estimators of parameter and reliability function for Compound Rayleigh distribution is investigated under the symmetric and asymmetric loss function. In this case the symmetric loss function is squared error and for the asymmetric loss functions, we consider LINEX and general Entropy loss function.
