MODIFIED INFERENCE ABOUT THE SCALE PARAMETER OF THE INVERSE WEIBULL DISTRIBUTION BY USING TYPE II CENSORED SAMPLE

Abstract

Suresh (2004) used Taylor expansion series to linearize the intractable term in likelihood equation. In this Paper a simple approximation has been proposed for intractable term , to estimate scale parameter “?” keeping shape parameter “m” fixed of two parameter Inverse Weibull distribution from doubly type ll censored sample and studying the effect of censored sample in terms of asymptotic variances and Mean square error .
