Using Maple and Mathematica to derive bias corrections for two parameter distributions

Borko D Stosic, Gauss M. Cordeiro · Journal of Statistical Computation and Simulation · 2008

In this work we present a source code for programs (scripts) that may be used with the symbolic computation software Maple and Mathematica, for generating analytic expressions for the second-order bias corrections of the maximum likelihood estimators in regular two parameter continuous distributions. The scripts are tested on more than 20 continuous distributions, and the results are compared with those published in earlier works, confirming all of the previously reported expressions.
