Trimming in Gamma Samples

Author

Listed:
  • A. C. Kimber

Abstract

Some robust statistics which involve trimming are proposed as estimators of the scale parameter of a gamma sample with known shape parameter. Their properties are investigated. Further, with suitable modifications, these statistics may be used as quick, robust estimates of the shape parameter of a gamma sample.
