Abstract

In this paper, we have obtained the best linear unbiased estimator (BLUE) of μ of the exponential distribution E(μ, c2 μ2 ) with known coefficient of variation c by order statistics. Also we have obtained the compact form of the estimator derived. Efficiency comparisons are also made on the proposed estimators with some of the usual estimators of μ.
