In this paper, we propose a log-normal linear model whose errors are first-order correlated, and suggest a two-stage method for the efficient estimation of the conditional mean of the response variable at the original scale. We obtain two estimators which minimize the asymptotic mean squared error (MM) and the asymptotic bias (MB), respectively. Both the estimators are very easy to implement, and simulation studies show that they are perform better.
