Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to show an extremely successful maximum likelihood parameter estimation scheme for the three-parameter log-normal distribution. The proposed algorithm, which is a combination of the continuation method and the extended log-normal distribution model, can find the existing local maximum likelihood estimates successfully without a careful selection of the starting point in the iterative process.
