Abstract

We consider the problem of statistical inference on the scale parameter of the Rayleigh Distribution from a type II doubly censored sample, using a Structural Inference approach. We derive the Structural Distribution for the scale parameter. The properties of this distribution are used to obtain different inferential statements about the parameter.
