ON SOME DIFFICULTIES IN THE MAXIMUM LIKELIHOOD ESTIMATION

• Abstract:

  Two-parameters double exponential distribution is presented. Maximum likelihood method is applied to estimate the parameters of the distribution. It seems that the maximum likelihood estimates of the double exponential distribution exist only for rather specific collections of data.
