Abstract: Estimates of the location and scale parameters, linear in the order statistics of a Type II censored or complete sample, from a continuous symmetric unimodal distribution satisfying certain conditions are obtained. Their coefficients are explicit functions of the expectations of the order statistics or population quantiles from the known parameter‐free standardized distribution. Linear estimates with simpler coefficients are also obtained. The theorems state the complete sample case, and the singly and doubly censored cases. The more general case, the multiple censoring, is an extension of these cases and is indicated. All the estimates obtained are asymptotically efficient in the strict sense.
