Abstract

We shall propose several estimators and confidence intervals for the scale parameter in a uniform distribution with the presence of a unidentified outlier and obtain biases and mean squared errors for their proposed estimators. And we shall numerically compare the performances for the proposed several estimators of the sclae parameter. Also, we shall compare lengths of confidence intervals of the scale parameter in a uniform distribution through Monte Carlo methods.
