Bias Reduction of Maximum Likelihood Estimates for an Asymmetric Class of Power Models with Applications

In this paper we study some methods to reduce the bias for maximum likelihood estimation in the general class of alpha power models, specifically for the shape parameter. We find the modified maximum likelihood estimator using Firth's method and we show that this estimator is the uniformly min...
