ESTIMATION OF PARAMETERS FOR PARETO DISTRIBUTION
Eldesoky E. Afify (Egypt)
|
Abstract: In this paper, we estimate the parameters of the Pareto
distribution by using least squares, ridge least squares and maximum product of
spacing methods in the presence of outliers and compare these methods by using
root mean squared errors in the presence of outliers. Numerical examples are
worked out. |
Keywords and phrases: Pareto distribution, least square method, ridge least square method, maximum
product of spacing, outliers, mean square errors. |
