Abstract: For knormal populations with unknown means μi and variances σ2i>0 (i=1,2,…,k), it is assumedthat there is a treeorder restriction between ratios of means and standard deviations. According to the method of isotonic regression, a procedure of obtaining the maximum likelihood estimators of μi's and σi's under the treeorder restrictions is proposed. In the case of k=7, some connected results and simulationresultsare given.

Key words: simple treeorder, maximum likelihood estimator, lik elihood function, iteration method
