Class LogNormalDistribution

java.lang.Object

de.lmu.ifi.dbs.elki.math.statistics.distribution.LogNormalDistribution

All Implemented Interfaces:

Distribution

@Alias(value="lognormal")
public class LogNormalDistribution
extends AbstractDistribution

Log-Normal distribution. The parameterization of this class is somewhere inbetween of GNU R and SciPy. Similar to GNU R we use the logmean and logstddev. Similar to Scipy, we also have a location parameter that shifts the distribution. Our implementation maps to SciPy's as follows: scipy.stats.lognorm(logstddev, shift, math.exp(logmean))
