Estimation of parameters of k exponential distributions in doubly censored samples
Best linear unbiased estimators (BLEUs) and maximum lidelihood estimators (MLEs) of location parameters and scale parameter based on type II doubly censored samples from K(≥1) exponential distiributions are obtained. The scale parameter σ is assumed to be same for all distrubutions. These estimators are compared by using the mean square error (MSE) criterion. For scale parameter, the relative efficiency of the BLUE compared to MLE is tabulated.
