Estimation of the shape and scale parameters of Pareto distribution using ranked set sampling

Abu-Dayyeh, Walid; Assrhani, Aissa; Ibrahim, Kamarulzaman - In: Statistical Papers 54 (2013) 1, pp. 207-225

In the current paper, the estimation of the shape and location parameters α and c, respectively, of the Pareto distribution will be considered in cases when c is known and when both are unknown. Simple random sampling (SRS) and ranked set sampling (RSS) will be used, and several traditional and...
