Estimation for the scaled half logistic distribution under Type II censoring

We derive the best linear unbiased estimator (BLUE) based on doubly Type-II censored samples for the scaled half logistic distribution. Next, we derive the best linear unbiased estimator and the asymptotic best linear unbiased estimator based on k optimally selected order statistics and show that the asymptotic result provides very close approximation to the finite sample result even for a sample of size as small as 20. The maximum likelihood …
