Abstract

For the Birnbaum–Saunders distribution based on Laplace kernel, we discuss the shape characteristics of density and hazard functions. We show the existence and uniqueness of maximum likelihood estimates. Simple modified moment estimators are proposed and compared with maximum likelihood estimates.
