In this paper some different sorts of confidence intervals are considered for the scale parameter of the Burr type XII distribution based on the upper record values. In this regard, the coverage probability is adopted as a measure of improvement when the endpoints are the same for all types of...

In this paper, we define different types of estimators for the distribution function, namely preliminary test (PT), shrinkage PT (SPT), Stein type (S), and Thompson shrinkage (TS) estimators based on lower record observations and their inter record times. Their asymptotic distributional bias and...
