The estimation problem of the quantiles ξ + bσ of an exponential distribution with unknown location-scale parameter (ξ, σ) is considered. We establish the ...

Problems of maximum likelihood estimation are discussed for shape and scale parameters from certain decreasing hazard rate distributions, typically either mixed-exponential or "work-hardened." ...

Maximum likelihood estimation of the parameters of a statistical model involves maximizing the likelihood or, equivalently, the log likelihood with respect to the parameters. The parameter values at ...
