The S-distribution is a four-parameter distribution that is defined in terms of a differential equation, in which the cumulative is represented as the dependent variable: The article proposes a maximum likelihood estimator for the shape parameters of this distribution.
When experiments are conducted there is always a chance of the occurrence of large measurement errors (outliers). Common identification methods like generalized least squares, maximum likelihood etc. may not converge in these situations due to the presence of oufliers. Here we present a method for t
