Abstract
The numerical technique of the maximum likelihood method to estimate the parameters of Gamma distribution is examined. A convenient table is obtained to facilitate the maximum likelihood estimation of the parameters and the estimates of the variance-covariance matrix. The bias of the estimates is investigated numerically. The empirical result indicates that the bias of both parameter estimates produced by the maximum likelihood method is positive.
