Inference for the Parameters of the Exponentiated Half Logistic Distribution
Abstract
This study focuses on estimating the parameters of the Exponentiated Half-Logistic distribution through eleven distinct estimation techniques. These include maximum likelihood, least squares, weighted least squares, Cramér–von Mises, various forms of the Anderson–Darling method (standard, right-tailed, left-tailed, and second-order left-tailed), maximum product of spacings, minimum spacing absolute distance, and minimum spacing absolute-log distance estimators. A comprehensive Monte Carlo simulation is conducted to assess and compare the performance of these methods under varying parameter configurations and sample sizes. To illustrate the practical applicability of the proposed estimators, the corresponding distribution is fitted to a real-world wind speed data set. The results indicate that the exponentiated half logistic distribution provides a better fit than several commonly used models for this type of data.
