Unbiased estimation for two-parameter exponential distribution under time censored sampling

S. Sengupta (2009)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

The problem considered is that of unbiased estimation for a two-parameter exponential distribution under time censored sampling. We obtain a necessary form of an unbiasedly estimable parametric function and prove that there does not exist any unbiased estimator of the parameters and the mean of the distribution. For reliability estimation at a specified time point, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of an unbiased estimator and suggest an unbiased estimator...

Unbiased estimation of reliability for two-parameter exponential distribution under time censored sampling

S. Sengupta (2010)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

The problem considered is that of unbiased estimation of reliability for a two-parameter exponential distribution under time censored sampling. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimator and also provide a characterization of a complete class of unbiased estimators in situations where unbiased estimators exist.

A Cramer-Rao analogue for median-unbiased estimators.

Similarity:

Adopting a measure of dispersion proposed by Alamo [1964], and extending the analysis in Stangenhaus [1977] and Stangenhaus and David [1978b], an analogue of the classical Cramér-Rao lower bound for median-unbiased estimators is developed for absolutely continuous distributions with a single parameter, in which mean-unbiasedness, the Fisher information, and the variance are replaced by median-unbiasedness, the first absolute moment of the sample score, and the reciprocal of twice the...

Comparison at optimal levels of classical tail index estimators: a challenge for reduced-bias estimation?

M. Ivette Gomes, Lígia Henriques-Rodrigues (2010)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

In this article, we begin with an asymptotic comparison at optimal levels of the so-called "maximum likelihood" (ML) extreme value index estimator, based on the excesses over a high random threshold, denoted PORT-ML, with PORT standing for peaks over random thresholds, with a similar ML estimator, denoted PORT-MP, with MP standing for modified-Pareto. The PORT-MP estimator is based on the same excesses, but with a trial of accommodation of bias on the Generalized Pareto model underlying...

A sufficient condition for admissibility in linear estimation

Czesław Stępniak (1988)

Aplikace matematiky

Similarity:

It was recently shown that all estimators which are locally best in the relative interior of the parameter set, together with their limits constitute a complete class in linear estimation, both unbiased and biased. However, not all these limits are admissible. A sufficient condition for admissibility of a limit was given by the author (1986) for the case of unbiased estimation in a linear model with the natural parameter space. This paper extends this result to the general linear model...
