Abstract

AbstractIt is verified that the maximum likelihood (ML) estimators of the standard two‐sided power distribution (STSP) parameters introduced by van Dorp and Kotz on the interval (0,1) can be severely biased. Since the usual analytical methods of bias correction cannot be applied in such a parametric distribution, bootstrap bias correction methods are proposed. The numerical study favors a particular bootstrap estimator based on parametric resampling. Real data applications are also considered to illustrate the impact of bias correction of the usual maximum likelihood estimators of the standard two‐sided power distribution parameters when the sample size is small.
