“…31 , is an alternative to the ML method for estimating the unknown parameters in continuous distributions. For CDF (18), define where n+1 i=1 D i (α, β, γ ) = 1 , F * (t 0 ) = 0 , and F * (t (n+1) ) = 1. Maximization of the geometric mean of the uniform spacings, given in the next equation, will yield the MPSEs ( ᾱ, β, γ ) of (α, β, γ ; t), or equivalently, by maximization of the following function, M(α, β, γ ; t) = ln[G(α, β, γ ; t)],…”
