Detailed Description

This module contains classes and procedures for computing various statistical quantities related to the Lognormal distribution.

Specifically, this module contains routines for computing the following quantities of the Lognormal distribution:

  1. the Probability Density Function (PDF)
  2. the Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF)
  3. the Random Number Generation from the distribution (RNG)
  4. the Inverse Cumulative Distribution Function (ICDF) or the Quantile Function

The PDF of the Lognormal distribution is defined with the two location and scale parameters \((\mu \in (-\infty, +\infty), \sigma > 0)\) as,

\begin{equation} \large \pi(x | \mu, \sigma) = \frac{1}{x\sigma\sqrt{2\pi}}\exp\bigg( -\frac{\big(\log(x) - \mu\big)^2}{2\sigma^2} \bigg) ~,~ x \in (0, +\infty) ~. \end{equation}

The CDF of the Lognormal distribution is defined with the two location and scale parameters \((\mu \in (-\infty, +\infty), \sigma > 0)\) as,

\begin{equation} \large \mathrm{CDF}(x | \mu, \sigma) = \frac{1}{2} \bigg[ 1 + \mathrm{erf} \bigg( \frac{\log(x) - \mu}{\sigma\sqrt{2}} \bigg) \bigg] ~,~ x \in (0, +\infty) ~. \end{equation}
