Abstract

Ordinary least squares (OLS) and Linear (LIN) estimators are commonly used in estimating the parameters of location-scale family of distributions. Various works have been done to compare the efficiency between these two estimators for the two-parameter exponential distribution and the two-parameter Weibull distribution. Motivated by these works, it would be of interest to evaluate the performance of the LIN method for the extreme-value distribution. We found that the performance of LIN estimator is better than that of OLS estimator in the sense that it had smaller standard errors and better efficiency. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
