摘要
The positivity of the best linear unbiased estimator of the scale parameter of a location-scale family of distributions in terms of complete or selected set of order statistics has only been conjectured in the literature based solely on empirical evidence. This paper offers an analytical proof of this conjecture for distributions whose densities are log-concave.
