"Parameter Estimation for Kappa Distribution with Four-Parameter Under Type II Censored Samples",
Australian Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, vol. 5, issue 7, pp. 174-180, 2011.
AbstractIn this paper, maximum likelihood estimators (MLE's) for the unknown parameters and the corresponding asymptotic variance covariance matrix of the four-parameter kappa distribution are obtained under type II censored sample. Results obtained by Winchester (2000) in the complete case may be considered as a special case from present results. An illustrative example is carried out by using a simulated data.
