Abstract:
In this paper, the exact moments of record values are obtained for two parameter Burr type XII distribution. Exact expressions for single and product moments of record statistics are also derived. The means, variances and covariances of the record statistics are computed for various values of the shape parameters. These values are then used to compute the coefficients of the best linear unbiased estimators of the location and scale parameters. The variances of these estimators are also presented. The predictors of the future record statistics are also discussed.
