Penelitian ini membahas tentang pendugaan parameter µ dari distribusi LogNormal dengan σ 2 diketahui. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) dan metode Bayes dengan prior konjugat. Penduga parameter µ dengan metode MLE dinyatakan sebagai µbMLE = Σn i=1ln(Xi) n dan penduga parameter µ dengan metode Bayes dinyatakan sebagai µbB = mσ2 + nx ∗p σ2 + np . Pada penelitian ini kriteria evaluasi penduga yang digunakan adalah MSE dan sifat tak bias. Berdasarkan studi analitik dan studi kasus diperoleh bahwa pendugaan µ dari distribusi Log-Normal dengan metode Bayes lebih baik di bandingkan metode Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE). Kata Kunci: Metode Bayes, Metode Maximum Likelihood Estimation Distribusi LogNormal, Prior Konjugat

In this paper, a new heavy-tailed distribution is used to model data with a strong right tail, as often occuring in practical situations. The proposed distribution is derived from the log-normal distribution, by using odd log-logistic distribution. Statistical properties of this distribution, including hazard function, moments, quantile function, and asymptotics, are derived. The unknown parameters are estimated by the maximum likelihood estimation procedure. For different parameter settings and sample sizes, a simulation study is performed and the performance of the new distribution is compared to beta log-normal. The new lifetime model can be very useful and its superiority is illustrated by means of two real data sets.
