Abstract
Estimation of tail probability is of interest in various applications. Given a parametric model, a natural approach is maximum likelihood estimationAlthough the resulting estimator is asymptotically efficient, the large sam-ple property is often not trustworthy for estimating small tail probabilities.We introduce a new estimator for the parameters, the Maximum Lq-Like-lihood Estimator (MLqE), based on Havrda and Charv·t entropy function.
