Efficient estimation of the mean of an exponential distribution when two outliers are present
Abstract
The exponential distribution plays an important role in life testing problems. In this paper, we discuss the selection of an efficient estimator of its expected value in the presence of two outlying observations with higher expected value. An iterative procedure for the estimation of the mean is provided and the method is illustrated through an example.
