Abstract
Abstract Charts are presented which can be used to simplify estimation of μ and σ in the case of sampling from a singly truncated normal distribution when (a) the point of truncation and the number of observations in the truncated portion are known, (b) the number of observations in the truncated portion is not known. A somewhat different iteration procedure for case (a) than given by other writers is suggested and an example is given.

Estimating the Mean and Variance of Normal Populations from Singly Truncated and Doubly Truncated Samples
This paper is concerned with the problem of estimating the mean and variance of normal populations from singly and doubly truncated samples having known truncation points. Maxim...
Maximum Likelihood Estimation in Truncated Samples
In this paper we consider the problem of estimation of parameters from a sample in which only the first $r$ (of $n$) ordered observations are known. If $r = \\lbrack qn \\rbrack...
Bootstrap Methods: Another Look at the Jackknife
We discuss the following problem: given a random sample $\\mathbf{X} = (X_1, X_2, \\cdots, X_n)$ from an unknown probability distribution $F$, estimate the sampling distribution...
Confidence Sets for the Mean of a Multivariate Normal Distribution
SUMMARY An attempt is made to determine confidence sets for the mean of a multivariate normal distribution with known covariance matrix that take advantage of the fact that the ...
