Interval Estimation For The Scale Parameter Of Burr Type X Distribution Based On Grouped Data, Amjad D. Al-Nasser, Ayman Baklizi

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

The application of some bootstrap type intervals for the scale parameter of the Burr type X distribution with grouped data is proposed. The general asymptotic confidence interval procedure (Chen & Mi, 2001) is studied. The performance of these intervals is investigated and compared. Some of the bootstrap intervals give better performance for situations of small sample size and heavy censoring.
