- _D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:
-
- These functions provide information about the log nor-
- mal distribution whose logarithm has mean equal to
- meanlog and standard deviation equal to sdlog. dlnorm
- gives the density, plnorm gives the distribution func-
- tion qlnorm gives the quantile function and rlnorm gen-
- erates random deviates.
-
- If meanlog or sdlog are not specified they assume the
- default values of 0 and 1 respectively.
-
- The log normal distribution has density
-
- f(x) = 1/(sqrt(2 pi) sigma x)
- e^-((log x - mu)^2 / (2 sigma^2))
-
- where mu and sigma are the mean and standard deviation
- of the logarithm.
