dc.description.abstract | Linear estimation of the scale parameter of the logistic population based
on the sum of consecutive order statistics, when the location parameter is
unknown, is discussed. A method based on a pair of single spacing and
'zero-one' weights rather than the optimum weights is presented. Limited
simulations indicate small bias and variance' of the estimator, and reasonably
high relative efficiencies with respect to the Cramer-Rae lower bound and
best linear unbiased estimators (BLUE's) for small sample sizes. | en |
