Study on the Problem of Estimation of Parameters of Generalized Exponential Distribution

Abstract

Mudholkar and Srivastava, Freimer (1995) proposed three-parameter exponentiated Weibull distribution. Two-parameter exponentiated exponential or generalized exponential (GE) distribution is a particular member of the exponentiated Weibull distribution. we study the problem of estimation of unknown parameters of the GE distribution and describe the some estimation techniques which are very useful to estimate the unknown parameters of the GE distribution. We consider the methods of maximum likelihood estimator, moments estimator, percentiles estimator, least square estimator, weighted least square estimator.
