Interval estimation for the mean of lognormal data with excess zeros

This paper considered interval estimations for the mean of lognormal distribution with excess zeros. We proposed two methods for interval estimation based on an approximate generalized pivotal quantity and a fiducial quantity. Simulation results show that the fiducial approach has highly accurate coverage probability and fairly low bias.
