adj, noun ·Rare ·Advanced level
Definitions
- 1 A logarithmic function that has a normal distribution.
"The mgf of the low and high amplitude regions of a single lognormal variable and the derivatives is examined and attention is drawn to the effect of variance. The problem of inversion of the mgf/chf of a sum of lognormals to obtain the CDF/pdf is considered with special reference to methods related to Post Widder technique, Gaussian quadrature and the Fourier series method."
