Abstract: | Summary Let
be a sequence of independent identically distributed random variables withθ
1∼G and the conditional distribution ofx
1 givenθ
1=θ given by
. HereG is unknown andF
θ(·) is known. This paper provides estimators
ofG based onx
1, …,x
n such that the random variable sup
has an asymptotic distribution asn→∞ under certain on conditionsG and for certain choices ofF
θ. A simulation model has been discussed involving the uniform distribution on (0, θ) forF
θ and an exponential distribution forG.
