Abstract

In this paper, the modified method of moments is applied to obtain an estimator of the parameter of a doubly truncated binomial distribution. The estimator is obtained in terms of the first three sample moments. Further, the efficiency of this estimator relative to the maximum likelihood estimator is also given here.
