A Parameter Estimation Technique for the Generalized Rayleigh-Rician Distribution and Laha's Bessel Distribution

Abstract

The purpose of this report is to provide a means by which the parameters of the generalized Rayleigh distribution can be estimated from experimental data. This report is an outgrowth of research in the area of laser radar technology; however, the results should be of general interest and find application in other disciplines where the generalized Rayleigh distribution is encountered.
