Command: rdevdict::lognormal

Name:
rdevdict::lognormal - lognormal random deviate generator
Description:
Generates lognormally distributed random numbers. p(x) = 1 / (x * sigma * \sqrt{2 pi}) * exp (-(ln(x)-mu)^2 / 2 sigma^2)
Parameters:
mu - mean of the underlying normal distribution (default: 0.0) sigma - standard deviation of the underlying normal distribution (default: 1.0) Note: Mean and variance of the lognormal numbers are given by E[X] = exp(mu + sigma^2/2) Var[X] = (exp(sigma^2) - 1) * E[X]^2
