ABSTRACT
In this chapter, we focus on a negative exponential distribution with the following p.d.f.:
f(x; θ, σ) =
{ 1 σ exp (−(x− θ)/σ) if x > θ 0 if x ≤ θ. (7.1.1)
We denote this distribution by NExpo(θ, σ) and assume that θ, σ are unknown parameters, −∞ < θ < ∞ and 0 < σ < ∞. This distribution also goes by another name, a two-parameter exponential distribution.
