Abstract: Given a large sample from a location-scale population we estimate the unknown parameters by means of confidence regions constructed on the basis of two order statistics. The problem of the best choice of those statistics to obtain good estimates, as $$n\rightarrow \infty ,$$ is considered. Copyright The Author(s) 2013
