Abstract

In continuation of a previous paper, a procedure to obtain the maximum likelihood values of the parameters for a generalized exponential distribution is described. The formula for the limits of confidence is also given. As an example, the maximum likelihood values of parameters for the initial and extremal distributions of Zagreb earthquakes and the limits of confidence for the largest possible intensity are presented.
