Abstract

In this paper, we propose the approximate maximum likelihood estimators (AMLE) of the location and the scale parameter of the singly left truncated normal distribution. We compare the proposed estimators with the simpler estimators (SE) in terms of the mean squared error (MSE) through Monte Carlo methods.
