Maximum likelihood estimators for the gamma distribution revisited

Journal Article · · Commun. Stat. Pt. B: Simul. Comput.; (United States)
A new algorithm is stated for the evaluation of the maximum likelihood estimators of the two-parameter gamma density. This, along with other approximations, is used to evaluate by quadrature, moments of the estimators of the shape and scale parameters. 11 references, 4 tables.
