Abstract
This paper is concerned with the problem of obtaining the conditional confidence intervals for the parameters of the Pareto distribution based on generalized order statistics. The properties of the derived intervals, such as the coverage rates, the covering symmetry, and the mean length of intervals, have been evaluated using Monte Carlo simulation for different values of the shape parameter. Finally, a numerical example illustrates the inferential method developed in this paper.
