Abstract
Let X be a random variable with moment generating function M(t) and define
c=min{s>0} (1/s)log{ R M(t) } where R is a given constant. Assuming that we
have some observations for X we discuss the estimation of c. We show that the
estimator is asymptotically normal and discuss resampling methods for
obtaining confidence intervals for c.
