| Abstract: | The conditional maximum likelihood estimator of the shape parameter in the two-parameter geometric distribution is introduced and explored. The estimator is compared with the unconditional maximum likelihood estimator and the uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimator. |
| Keywords: | bias comparison of estimators parameter transformation unconditional maximum likelihood estimator uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimator |
