Estimation of the scale parameter of the Half Logistic distribution by Blom’s method

الملخص EN

Bloms method is used to obtain NBLUE of the scale parameter of the half logistic distribution when the location parameter is known (µ = 0), based on complete sample.

A comparison is made with estimators obtained by four methods: the least square method of obtaining best linear unbiased estimators (BLUEs), the method of maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs), the method of approximate maximum likelihood estimators (AMLEs) and (BLUEs) based on two optimally selected order statistics.

An illustrative example using life time data is presented for the distribution.
