The most commonly used estimator for a log-normal mean is the sample mean. In this paper, we show that this estimator can have a large mean square error, even for large samples. Then, we study three main alternative estimators: (i) a uniformly minimum variance unbiased (UMVU) estimator; (ii) a maxim

In this paper we conduct a simulation study to evaluate coverage error, interval width and relative bias of four main methods for the construction of confidence intervals of log-normal means: the naive method; Cox's method; a conservative method; and a parametric bootstrap method.
