Abstract
In this paper, we propose estimators of Gini index of the exponential distribution. We also obtain the distribution and the moments of the proposed estimators. The moments of the proposed estimators are derived by special function. We compare the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of Gini index with the proposed estimator of Gini index in the sense of MSE through Monte Carlo Method.
