Abstract: The Maxwell distribution plays an important role in physics, chemistry and other allied sciences. This paper provides a comparison of double informative priors which are assumed for an unknown parameter of Maxwell distribution usually, we use one informative prior to incorporate that prior knowledge and ignoring the other information. So to include two different kind of information in the analysis, two different priors have been selected for a single unknown parameter of Maxwell distribution. Here we have assumed generalized uniform-inverted gamma distribution as double priors.
