SIMULTANEOUS LINEAR ESTIMATION OF THE MEAN AND STANDARD DEVIATION OF THE NORMAL AND LOGISTIC DISTRIBUTIONS BY THE USE OF SELECTED ORDER STATISTICS FROM DOUBLY CENSORED SAMPLES.

Abstract

The method of least squares can be applied to order statistics of the Normal and Logistic distributions to estimate linearly the mean and standard deviation. For doubly censored samples of ordered observations, coefficients of estimation using the best L order statistics, where L is less than or equal to m (the number of observations remaining after censoring) were calculated and tabled. The efficiencies of the L-order-statistic estimators relative to the m-order statistic estimators are also tabled. Information concerning the Normal and Logistic distributions, their moments, and order statistics is given general coverage. (Author)
