Abstract
For a random variable obeying the inverse Gaussian distribu-tion and its reciprocal, the uniformly minimum variance unbiased (UMVU) estimators of each mode are obtained. The UMVU estimators of the left and right limits of a certain interval which contains an inverse Gaussian variate with an arbitrary given probability are also proposed.Keywords
