Some background on the Burr Type X distribution is given and the methods used for inference are also described within this thesis. A simulation study is conducted to assess the performance of the three methods, and their performances are compared.application/pdfengBootstrap (Statistics) -- MethodologyBox-Cox Bootstrap and classical inference methods for the shape parameter of the Burr Type X distributionThesis
