Estimation of Pianka Overlapping Coefficient for Two Exponential Distributions
Overlapping coefficients (OVL) are commonly used to estimate the similarity between populations in terms of their density functions. In this paper, we consider Pianka’s overlap coefficient for two exponential populations. The methods for statistical inference of Pianka’s coefficient are presented. T...

| Summary: | Overlapping coefficients (OVL) are commonly used to estimate the similarity between populations in terms of their density functions. In this paper, we consider Pianka’s overlap coefficient for two exponential populations. The methods for statistical inference of Pianka’s coefficient are presented. The bias and mean square error (MSE) of the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) and the Bayes estimator of Pianka’s overlap coefficient are investigated by simulation. Confidence intervals for Pianka’s overlap measure are constructed. |
