Bounds for the mean square error of reliability estimation from gamma distribution in presence of an outlier observation

In this paper we discuss the behavlor of the statistic R^(t) , the uniformly minimum variance unbiased (UMVU) estimate for the reliability of gamma distribution with unknown scale parameter σ when an outlier observation is present. Given the outlier effect on σ, we determine bounds for the mean and...
