LOGNORMDIST((x,m,sd)
- is the value , is the mean of ,
- And is the standard deviation of .
Description
- This function gives the value of the cumulative log normal distribution.
- This distribution is the continuous probability distribution.
- Lognomal distribution is also called Galton's distribution.
- A random variable which is log-normally distributed takes only positive real values.
- Suppose is normally distributed function ,then also normally distributed
- also normally distributed.
- Let the normal distribution function and its mean= Failed to parse (syntax error): {\displaystyle μ} , standard deviation = Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle σ}
- Then the lognormal cumulative distribution is calculated by:Failed to parse (syntax error): {\displaystyle F(x,μ,σ)=1/2[1+(erf(ln(x)-μ)/σsqrt(2)= φ[(ln(x)-μ)/σ]} where erf is the error function( the error function (also called the Gauss error function) is a special function of sigmoid shape which occurs in probability, statistics and partial differential equations)
- And φ is the cumulative distribution function of the standard normal distribution.
- This function will give the result as error when
