Comparisons among Estimators of a Scale Parameter of the Beta-Stacy Distribution

Abstract

A comparative survey is made of several estimators of a scale parameter of the Beta-Stacy distribution. In essence, some optimum technique is sought to permit more insight into the statistics of a joint distribution of two random variables when one set has a generalized gamma distribution. Comparisons are made on the accuracy lost when no additional statistics are available on the set having the generalized gamma distribution. This work is a logical extension of the bivariate warning-time/failure time distribution effort conducted by Mihran and Hultquist (1967)
