Modified Maximum Likelihood Estimation from Censored Samples in Burr Type X Distribution

Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Burr Type V Distribution under Left Censored Samples

The paper deals with the maximum likelihood estimation of the parameters of the Burr type V distribution based on left censored samples. The maximum likelihood estimators (MLE) of the parameters have been derived and the Fisher information matrix for the parameters of the said distribution has been obtained explicitly. The confidence intervals for the parameters have also been discussed. A simu...

Estimation Using Censored Data from Exponentiated Burr Type XII Population

Maximum likelihood and Bayes estimators of the parameters, survival function (SF) and hazard rate function (HRF) are obtained for the three-parameter exponentiated Burr type XII distribution when sample is available from type II censored scheme. Bayes estimators have been developed using the standard Bayes and MCMC methods under square error and LINEX loss functions, using informative type of p...

Iterative maximum-likelihood estimation of the parameters of normal populations from singly and doubly censored samples.

Point and Interval Estimation for the Burr Type III Distribution

In this paper, we study the estimation problems for the Burr type III distribution based on a complete sample. The maximum likelihood method is used to derive the point estimators of the parameter. An exact confidence interval and an exact joint confidence region for the parameters are constructed. Two numerical examples with real data set and simulated data, are presented to illustrate the met...

Modified Maximum Likelihood Estimation in Poisson Regression

In Generalized Linear Models, likelihood equations are intractable and do not have explicit solutions; thus, they must be solved by using Newton-type algorithms. Solving these equations by iterations, however, can be problematic: the iterations might converge to wrong values or the iterations might not converge at all. In this study, we derive the modified maximum likelihood estimators for Pois...
