This paper studies the MLE of the scale parameter of the gamma distribution based on data mixed from censoring and grouping when the shape parameter is known. The study shows that under Type I mixed data, the MLE of the scale parameter exists, is unique, and converges almost surely to the true value

A study was made of the possible basis for naturally occurring variations in the number of segments in individual dendritic trees. Distributions of the number of terminal segments have been studied in dendrites from rat, cat, and frog motoneurons, basal dendrites from rat visual cortex pyramidal and
## Abstract Environmental contamination data frequently follow an extremely right skewed distribution, which is often approximated by a logβnormal distribution. For the purpose of risk assessment it is of interest to use the sample data to calculate an upper bound on the population arithmetic mean.
