Some estimators of the PMF and CDF of the Logarithmic Series Distribution

Abstract: This article addresses the different methods of estimation of the probability mass function (PMF) and the cumulative distribution function (CDF) for the Logarithmic Series distribution. Following estimation methods are considered: uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimator (UMVUE), maximum likelihood estimator (MLE), percentile estimator (PCE), least square estimator (LSE), weighted least square estimator (WLSE). Monte Carlo simulations are performed to compare the performances of the proposed methods of estimation.
