Abstract

The problems of asymptotically optimum spacing of sample quantiles in connection with asymptotically best linear unbiased estimation of the location parameter of an extreme value distribution of Type I or the scale parameter of an extreme value distribution of Type II or III, are essentially the same. Previous results for the scale parameter of an exponential distribution can therefore be used.
