Using the sample maximum to estimate the parameters of the underlying distribution.

We propose novel estimators for the parameters of an exponential distribution and a normal distribution when the only known information is a sample of sample maxima; i.e., the known information consists of a sample of m values, each of which is the maximum of a sample of n independent random variabl...
