| Abstract: | When truncation points are unknown, they must be treated as additional parameters to be estimated from the sample data. In this article, estimators are derived for the truncation parameter in addition to basic parameters of both 1eft and riqht sing1y truncated Weibull distributions, Maximum likelihood estimators and estimators involving expected values of appropriate order statistics are derived, Asymptotic sampling errors of estimates are also given, Ill ustrative examples are inc1uded. |
