It can be concluded that only the third parameter, $\gamma$ is not compatible It can be concluded that, with both methods, the parameters $\alpha$ and $\beta$
with the expected one in both cases. An in-depth analysis of the algebraic were recovered succefully, while $\gamma$ is incompatible. However, the
arrangement of $F$ would be required in order to justify this outcome. covariance was estimated using the Cramér-Rao bound, so the errors may be
underestimated, which must be the case for $\gamma$.
Since two different methods similarly underestimated the true value of
$\gamma$, it was suspected the Monte Carlo simulation was faulty. This
phenomenon was observed frequently when generating multiple samples, so it
can't be attributed to statistical fluctuations in that particular sample.
The issue remains unsolved as no explanation was found.
