      Linear estimation of location and scale parameters using partial maxima 

      Papadatos, Nickos (2012)
      Consider an i. i. d. sample X 1*, X 2*,..., X n*, from a location-scale family, and assume that the only available observations consist of the partial maxima (or minima) sequence, X 1:1*,X 2:2*,..., X n:n*, where X j:j* = ...

      The use of spacings in the estimation of a scale parameter 

      Balakrishnan, N.; Papadatos, Nickos (2002)
      Linear functions on spacings-instead of linear functions on order statistics-are considered, in order to simplify the form of best linear unbiased estimators (BLUEs) and best linear invariant estimators (BLIEs) for the ...
