Unfortunately errors occurred in Table 1 and the second equation in Section 3.3 (equation for trimean-based estimator).

Table 1 List of distributions used in this study

The corrected table and equation are given below:

Equation for trimean-based estimator (in Section 3.3)

$$\frac{1}{4}Q_{{r - k}} {\left( {1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 4}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 4} \right)} + \frac{1}{2}Q_{{r - k:r}} {\left( {1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2} \right)} + \frac{1}{4}Q_{{r - k:r}} {\left( {3 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {3 4}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 4} \right)}$$
