Study on estimators of the PDF and CDF of the one parameter polynomial exponential distribution

Abstract

In this article, we have considered one parameter polynomial exponential (OPPE) distribution. The exponential, Lindley, length-biased Lindley and Sujatha distribution are particular cases. Two estimators viz, MLE and UMVUE of the PDF and the CDF of the OPPE distribution have been discussed. The estimation issue of the length-biased Lindley and Sujatha distribution have been considered in detail. The estimators have been compared in MSE sense. Monte Carlo simulations and real data analysis are performed to compare the performances of the proposed methods of estimation.
