Abstract

This paper deals with the problem of predicting thesth record value based on the firstm record values (s>m) when the observations are from the exponential distribution. Various estimates for thesth record value are obtained and their mean square errors are compared.

Key words

Exponential distribution record values prediction linear estimation invariance estimation least square estimation
