The Use of the Empirical Probability Generating Function to Estimate the Neyman Type A Distribution Parameters

The Maximum Likelihood estimators for the Neyman Type A distribution parameters are very difficult to compute. In this thesis, the Empirical Probability Generating Function is used to provide estimators that are easier to compute and have asymptotic efficiency at least as high as 97% of that for the...
