Theparameterization yields the dimension reduction of the three-parameter estimation problemto a two-parameter estimation problem on the basis of an extended lognormal distribution.The algorithm provides the way of seeking the profile of an object function in the twoparameterestimation problem. It is simple and numerically stable because it is constructedon the basis of the bisection method. The profile clearly and easily shows whether a primaryrelative maximum exists or not, and also gives a primary relative maximum certainly if itexists.}, pages = {63--74}, title = {Easy estimation by a new parameterization for the three-parameter lognormal distribution}, volume = {74}, year = {2004}, yomi = {コモリ, ヨシオ and ヒロセ, ヒデオ} }
