Fitting type I generalized Logistic distribution by modified method based on percentiles

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we propose a modified estimators based on percentiles (MPCE) to improve the estimators performance based on percentiles for the generalized Logistic distribution. Simulation results indicate that MPCE outperforms other existing methods in terms of MSE. Finally, the proposed method is applied to a real data set.
