In the analysis of means the estimate of σ is usually calculated using range. In this study it is proposed that the linear estimate of σ based on probability weighted moments should be used. A simulation study based on 1000 values suggested that the linear estimate of σ using probability weighted moments is more close to the original value. In the simulations different distributions such as normal, t , Cauchy and exponential were assumed.
