| Abstract: | Summary For a two-parameter Pareto distributionMalik 1970] has shown that the maximum likelihood estimators of the parameters are jointly sufficient. In this article the maximum likelihood estimators are shown to be jointly complete. Furthermore, unbiased estimators for the two parameters are obtained and are shown to be functions of the jointly complete sufficient statistics, thereby establishing them as the best unblased estimators of the two parameters.This research is a part of the first author's Ph.D. dissertation. The authors wish to thank Dr. Kenny S. Crump, for many helpful suggestions and a referee for improvements in the proofs. |
