摘要
Finite maximum likelihood estimates for the three-parameter Burr XII distribution do not always exist, because the distribution tends towards non-degenerated limiting forms as parameters tend to the boundary. In this paper, we give a complete investigation on the behaviours of the maximum likelihood estimates based on uncensored and right-censored data. An estimation algorithm covering all cases is outlined. Real examples are used to illustrate all the different cases. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
