Abstract:The log-power-normal distribution is a generalized version of the log-normal distribution. The maximum likelihood estimation method is the most popular method to obtain the estimates of the log-power-normal distribution parameters. In this article, we investigate the performance of the maximum likelihood estimation method for point and interval inferences. Moreover, a simple method that has less impact from the subjective selection of the initial solutions to the model parameters is proposed. The bootstrap bia… Show more
