METRON, 2014, vol. 72, issue 1, 97-122

Abstract: In this paper we study some important aspects of the Kies distribution by deriving expressions for its percentile measures, raw moments, reliability measures etc. The maximum likelihood estimation of the parameters of the distribution have been discussed and the distribution has been fitted to certain real life data sets. The asymptotic behaviour of maximum likelihood estimators are also studied by using simulated data sets. Copyright Sapienza Università di Roma 2014
