The introduction of the threshold parameters in three parameters lognormal distribution(λ ,μ ,σ) creates complications when we seek to estimate these parameters from sample. Hill(1963) has shown that global maximum likelihood estimators resulted in inadmissibleestimates as the likelihood function of...
