Initializes a log-normal distribution.

Namespace: Meta.Numerics.Statistics.Distributions
Assembly: Meta.Numerics (in Meta.Numerics.dll) Version: 4.2.0+6d77d64445f7d5d91b12e331399c4362ecb25333
C#
public LognormalDistribution(
	double mu,
	double sigma
)

Parameters

mu  Double
The mean of the underlying normal distribution.
sigma  Double
The standard deviation of the underlying normal distribution.

Remarks

Note that the values of μ and σ parameters are not the mean and standard deviation of the log-normal distribution. They are the mean and standard deviation of their logarithms z = ln x. This is the standard method of characterizing a log-normal distribution.
