A U-statistic and estimation for the inverse Gaussian distribution

V Seshadri

Statistics & Probability Letters, 1988, vol. 7, issue 1, 47-49

Abstract: Unbiased estimation of the square of the coefficient of variation in the inverse Gaussian distribution is considered. It is shown that the estimator is indeed a U-statistic. The exact distribution of the estimator is also derived.
