Abstract

Hill (1963) proved the existence of paths in the parameter space of the three-parameter lognormal distribution along which the likelihood for any given sample tends to infinity. Lambert (1970) considered a similar phenomenon in the case of the four-parameter lognormal distribution. It is shown that this anomaly is caused by the nature of the variate transformations used and not by the normal distribution itself.
