Abstract

In this paper we develop the uniformly minimum variance unbiased (best) estimators of the quantiles, mean, geometric mean and harmonic mean of the Pareto distribuion in the case when both the shape parameter a and the scale parameter k are unknown and in cases when one of them alone is unknown. The best estimates are in terms of the Bessel Function o F1 and Kummer's function 1 F1. The variance of the best estimator are found out, which are in terms of F2 , the Appell function of second kind and ψ2 , a confluent hypergeometric function of two variables. Further we prove that every best estimator of this paper is strongly consistent.
