This study aimed to determine the maximum likelihood (ML) estimates for the Gamma and Exponential distributions under conditions of left-truncated and right-censored data, employing the Expectation-Maximisation (EM) algorithm. Additionally, it sought to compare the performance of the EM algorithm...

This study establishes the asymptotic consistency of the James-Stein shrinkage estimator (JSSE) ˆ!⇤ n of some parameter ✓, which is obtained by shrinking a maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) ˆ✓n. Our shrinking strategy involves creating a subspace to shrink to by partitioning the parameter space...
