The scale parameter is 1 for Poisson and binomial distributions. SAS/INSIGHT software provides different scale parameter estimates for normal, inverse Gaussian, and gamma distributions: Note You can ...
This note illustrates the application of the Λ-minimax principle (see, e.g., [6, Sect. 6.6]) to the estimation of a scale parameter. In particular, a Λ-minimax estimator of the variance of a normal ...
A method of moments estimator for a location or scale parameter, based on quantal responses, is proposed. The method prescribes Spearman estimation of a generalized moment τ = ∫ G(x) F(dx; θ) where G ...
