In this paper, we discuss the record values arising from the Lindley distribution. We compute the means, variances and covariances of the record values. These values are used to compute the best linear unbiased estimators (BLUEs) and the best linear invariant estimators (BLIEs) of the location and scale parameters. By using the BLUEs and BLIEs, we construct confidence intervals for the location and scale parameters through Monte Carlo simulations. Prediction for the future records is also discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
