PRELIMINARY TEST ESTIMATORS FOR THE SCALE PARAMETER OF POWER FUNCTION DISTRIBUTION
Keywords:
Power Function Distribution, Preliminary Test Estimators, Mean Square Error, Relative Efficiency.Abstract
In this paper some preliminary test estimators have been considered for estimating the scale parameter of Power function distribution when a point guess value about scale parameter is available. The shape parameter is assumed to be known. Comparisons with usual estimators in terms of relative efficiency have been made.
