Computation of extreme-value parameters and inference by approximation covariance technique.

Ordinary least squares (OLS) and Linear (LIN) estimators are commonly used in estimating the parameters of location-scale family of distributions. Various works have been done to compare the efficiency between these two estimators for the two-parameter exponential distribution and the two-parameter...
