Employing the Jacknife method to find one-parameter Rayleigh distribution reliability estimators and compare them with some other estimation methods.

Ghufran Ismail Kamal

This Paper reviewing some of estimation methods of Rayleigh distribution parameters which are: Maximum Likelihood, Moments, Least Square Method, Ridge Regression Method, Modified Ridge Method, Jackknife Method, Simulation experiments have been used with different parameter imposed values and for different sample sizes. Efficiency of the estimators has been measured by Mean Square Error (MSE) and (IMSE) .
