We develop and evaluate analytic and bootstrap bias-corrected maximum likelihood estimators for the shape parameter in the Nakagami distribution. This distribution is widely used in a variety of disciplines, and the corresponding estimator of its scale parameter is trivially unbiased. We find...

We investigate the small-sample quality of the maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) of the parameters of the zero-inflated Poisson distribution. The finite-sample biases are determined to O(n-1) using an analytic bias reduction methodology based on the work of Cox and Snell (1968) and Cordeiro...
