摘要
We consider estimating the parameters of a t distribution. The maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) do not have closed expressions. In this note we propose several estimators of the parameters, including some approximations of the exact MLEs, and compare them in terms of standardized bias and mean squared error. Among other things, we have presented a simple approach to estimate the degrees of freedom efficiently. © 2013, Indian Statistical Institute.
