This article aimed to evaluate the performances of the estimators of the Modified Method of Moments for the parameters α and β Birnbaum-Saunders and three corrected versions of these estimators: the corrected version due to the bias, the bias corrected by means jackknife and corrected version due to the bias through bootstrap. Monte Carlo simulations were used to achieve the proposed objective, through the verification of some properties of these estimators, namely mean and error.
