For a Modified Maximum Likelihood Estimate of the parameters of generalized exponential distribution (GE), a hyperbolic approximation is used instead of linear approximation for a function which appears in the Maximum Likelihood equation. This estimate is shown to perform better, in accuracy and simplicity of calculation, than the one based on linear approximation for the same function. Numerical computation for random samples of different sizes from generalized exponential distribution (GE), using type II censoring is done and is shown to be better than that obtained by Lee et al. [1].
