On a shape estimator of weiss

Naval Research Logistics Quarterly, 1981, vol. 28, issue 4, 603-605

Abstract: The problem of estimating the shape‐parameter of a distribution is considered. We introduce a class of estimators the distributions of which are independent of location and scale. An estimator proposed by Weiss [1] is a member of this class. We find the asymptotically most efficient estimator in this class which differs from that proposed by Weiss.
