Weighted least‐squares estimation of the shape parameter of the Weibull distribution |
|
| Authors: | Wen‐Liang Hung |
| Abstract: | The purpose of this paper is to propose the weighted least‐squares procedure for estimating the shape parameter of the Weibull distribution. Results from simulation studies illustrate the mean‐squared error of the weighted least‐squares estimator is smaller than competing procedures in all cases considered.
