چکیده
In this paper the classical estimators of the shape parameter for the Burr Type XII distribution, such as, the Maximum Likelihood Estimator (MLE), the Uniformly Minimum Variance Unbiased Estimator (UMVUE), and the Minimum Mean Squared Error (MinMSE) estimator are obtained. Then the problem of finding the minimax estimators of this parameter under the squared log error, precautionary, and weighted balanced squared error loss functions by applying the theorem of Lehmann [1950] is concerned. The obtained results have been interpreted in the light of two-person zero sum game. All these estimators are compared empirically using Monte Carlo simulation.

Modeling of splat particle splashing data during thermal spraying with the Burr distribution
Splashing of splat particles is one of the most important phenomena in industrial processes such as thermal spray coating. The data relative to the degree of splashing of splats sprayed with a normal angle are commonly characterized by the Weibull distribution function. In this present study, an effort has been made to show that the Burr distribution is better than the Weibull distribution for ...
متن کاملPoint 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...

This paper is concerned with the problem of finding the minimax estimators of the scale parameter ? in a family of transformed chi-square distributions, under asymmetric squared log error (SLE) and modified linear exponential (MLINEX) loss functions, using the Lehmann Theorem [2]. Also we show that the results of Podder et al. [4] for Pareto distribution are a special case of our results for th...
متن کاملEstimation of 2- and 3-parameter Burr Type XII distributions using EM algorithm
The Burr Type XII distribution is one of the systems of continuous distributions and is widely known because the distribution includes the characteristics of various well known distributions such as Weibull and gamma distributions. Maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) has been a common method in estimating model parameters. An alternative method that is the expectation-maximization (EM) algorith...
متن کاملNew Shewhart-type synthetic bar{X} control schemes for non-normal data
In this paper, Burr-type XII ̄X synthetic schemes are proposed as an alternative to the classical ̄X synthetic schemes when the assumption of normality fails to hold. First, the basic design of the Burr-type XII ̄X synthetic scheme is developed and its performance investigated using exact formulae. Secondly, the non-side-sensitive and side-sensitive Burr-type XII ̄X synthetic schemes are int...
