摘要
In this paper improved estimators of the scale and its reciprocal, theta(theta(-1)), and the location, mu, of a two-parameter exponential distribution are given based on a doubly censored sample. Also the problem of estimating the linear function mu + z theta is considered, where z is a given constant. It is shown that the improved estimators are better than the best affine equivariant estimators. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
