According to a study from Guanajuato, Mexico, "In this paper, we study the efficiency of an explicit approximated estimator of shape parameter p in a generalized Gaussian distribution. An estimator for p based on the method of moments does not always exist."
"However, such an estimator can be found with high probability for most practical situations. The proposed estimator is an explicit approximate solution to the transcendental estimator obtained by the method of moments," wrote G. Gonzalezfarias and colleagues.
The researchers concluded: "We obtain an explicit expression of its asymptotic variance, and we provide a procedure for constructing ...
