11. Parameter Estimation - Stanford University
web.stanford.eduBefore we dive into parameter estimation, first let’s revisit the concept of parameters. Given a model, the parameters are the numbers that yield the actual distribution. In the case of a Bernoulli random variable, the single parameter was the value p. In the case of a Uniform random variable, the parameters are the a
1 The Pareto Distribution - University of Montana
www.math.umt.edu2 Parameter Estimation We are interested in estimating the parameters of the Pareto distribution from which a random sample comes. We will outline a few parameter esti-mation schemes. 2.1 Method of Moments We actually modify the usual method of moments scheme according to a method laid out in Johnson and Kotz[5]. If we set the sample mean equal
