ON PARAMETRIC ESTIMATION

In this paper we are focused on parametric modeling. To estimate the distribution of the population under study we use the point estimate. For the unknown parameter a of the uniform (continue) distribution U(0, a ) we present a better estimator than the sample mean. It will provide a basis for developing efficient estimators when faced with similar problems.
