  • Abstract
    The maximum likelihood estimates of the median m and mean-to-median ratio ¿ for a log-normally distributed variate are derived, together with the asymptotic variances of these estimates. Using a Monte Carlo simulation, it is shown that these asymptotic variances of the estimates are reasonable when the number of sample points is N ¿ 50forp ¿ 8.
