This paper is concerned with the three-parameter logarithmic normal distribution; i.e., the general distribution in which the terminus is unknown. Maximum likelihood equations for estimating ...

The relationship between normal variable discrimination analysis and logistic regression analysis is noted and tests for the equality of two or more sets of multivariate normal parameters based on a ...
