This paper is concerned with the problem of finding the minimax estimators of the scale parameter in a family of transformed chi-square distribution, under asymmetric squared log error (SLE) and modified linear exponential (MLINEX) loss functions, using the Lehman Theorem (1983). Also, we show that the results of Podder et al. (2004) for Pareto distribution are a special case of our results for this family of distribution.
