In this paper, we consider the parameter estimation of the Marshall Olkin extended Burr XII (MOEBXII) distribution, which is a generalization of the Burr XII distribution. For the estimation of the parameters in the MOEBXII, maximum likelihood (ML) is available. However, this is not robust estimator. In this paper we proposed a robust estimator based on M estimation method to estimate the parameters of the MOEBXII distribution. We perform a small simulation study to illustrate the performance of proposed method. We also reanalyze two data sets to asses the capability of the robust estimators over the ML and LS estimators.
