Abstract

The  focus of this paper is  on a nonlinear weighted total least squares fitting problem for the three-parameter inverse Weibull density which is frequently employed as a model in reliability and lifetime studies. As a main result, a theorem on the existence of the total least squares estimator  is obtained,
as well as its generalization in the $l_q$ norm ($1\leq q<\infty$).
