Fig.

6.

Monte Carlo simulation results on bias and

confidence interval coverage of the lognormal estimator with gamma distributed
data,

EX = 1.

Values at the intersections

of rows and columns are either 100[Ave(E(x))

- EX]/EX (upper figure) or the proportion

of 1000 replications where the computed
confidence interval included the true expected value (lower figure).
