Order statistics from extreme value distribution,ii: best linear unbiased estimates and some other uses

Let Y_r+1:n ≤ _Y:r+2:n ≤≤… n?6:n-<: TYPE-II censored sample from an extreme value population with µ and α as the location and scale parameters, respectively. Tables of coefficients for the best linear unbiased estimators (BLUEs) of µ and α are presented for various choices of censoring and sample sizes n = 2(1)15(5)30; variances and covariance of these estimators are also presented. The computational formulae and procedure used and some checks employed are explained. We finally illustrate some uses of the tables by taking examples.
