Parameter Estimation of Weibull Distribution Based on Second-Kind Statistics
Authors:
Abstract
The log-cumulant estimator is proposed to estimate the parameters of Weibull distribution based on second-kind statistics. With the explicit closed form expressions, the log-cumulant estimator is computationally efficient. Parameter estimation results from Monte Carlo simulation and real synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image demonstrate that the log-cumulant estimator leads to better performance when compared to the moment estimator.
