lognormal#

Generates lognormally distributed random numbers.

Description

The lognormal class object is used in the generate and function to provide random numbers with average of distribution (m, a) and standard deviation (s, \(\sigma\)) of subject normal distribution, displacement (displ, b), and scalefactor (scale, \(\beta\)), where \(a, \sigma, b, \beta \in \mathbb{R}; \sigma > 0, \beta > 0\).

The probability density function is given by:

\[\begin{split}f_{a, \sigma, b, \beta} (x) = \begin{cases} \frac{1}{\sigma (x - b) \sqrt {2\pi}} \exp \left( -\frac{\ln( \frac{x - b}{\beta}) - a)^2}{2\sigma^2} \right), & x > b \\ 0, & x \leq b \end{cases}\end{split}\]

The cumulative distribution function is as follows:

\[\begin{split}F_{a, \sigma, b, \beta} (x) = \begin{cases} \Phi \left(\frac{\ln( \frac{x - b}{\beta}) - a}{\sigma}\right), & x > b \\ 0, & x \leq b \end{cases}\end{split}\]
