A maximum likelihood estimation for the Weibull tail coefficient based on record values

Mohamed El Arrouchi, Abdelouhid Imlahi

Abstract


We propose a maximum likelihood estimation for the Weibull tail-coefficient which is the regular variation exponent of the inverse cumulative hazard function. Our estimation is based on the successive quotient of the records values in an independent and identically distributed sequence of random variables. The asymptotic behavior is investigated. The results are illustrated on some finite sample situations.

Keywords


Weibull tail-coefficient, extreme value, record value, maximum likelihood estimate, asymptotic normality.

We have provided the online access of all issues and papers to the indexing agencies (as given on journal web site). It’s depend on indexing agencies when, how and what manner they can index or not. Hence, we like to inform that on the basis of earlier indexing, we can’t predict the today or future indexing policy of third party (i.e. indexing agencies) as they have right to discontinue any journal at any time without prior information to the journal. So, please neither sends any question nor expects any answer from us on the behalf of third party i.e. indexing agencies.Hence, we will not issue any certificate or letter for indexing issue. Our role is just to provide the online access to them. So we do properly this and one can visit indexing agencies website to get the authentic information.
