Estimating the endpoint of a uniform distribution under normal measurement errors with known error variance

Schneeweiß, Hans (2003): Estimating the endpoint of a uniform distribution under normal measurement errors with known error variance. Collaborative Research Center 386, Discussion Paper 339

Abstract

The paper studies the problem of estimating the upper end point of a finite interval when the data come from a uniform distribution on this interval and are disturbed by normally distributed measurement errors with known variance. Maximum likelihood and method of moments estimators are introduced and compared to each other.
