Abstract
We show that integrated squared error estimation of the parameters of a Cauchy distribution, based on the empirical characteristic function, is simple, robust and efficient. The k-L estimator of Koutrouvelis (Biometrika 69 (1982) 205) is more difficult to use, less robust and at best only marginally more efficient. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
