Estimation of the location parameter of distributions with known coefficient of variation by record values

Abstract

In this article, we derived the Best Linear Unbiased Estimator (BLUE) of the location parameter of certain distributions with known coefficient of variation by record values. Efficiency comparisons are also made on the proposed estimator with some of the usual estimators. Finally we give a real life data to explain the utility of results developed in this article.
