Abstract EN
The random variable Zn,α=Y1+2αY2+⋯+nαYn, with α∈ℝ and Y1,Y2,… being independent exponentially distributed random variables with mean one, is considered.
Van Leeuwaarden and Temme (2011) attempted to determine good approximation of the distribution of Zn,α.
The main problem is estimating the parameter α that has the main state in applicable research.
In this paper we show that estimating the parameter α by using the relation between α and mode is available.
The mean square error values are obtained for estimating α by mode, moment method, and maximum likelihood method.
