Log-normal distribution definition of Log-normal distribution in the Free Online Encyclopedia.

lognormal distribution [′läg‚nȯr·məl ‚di·strə′byü·shən]

(statistics)

A probability distribution in which the logarithm of the parameter has a normal distribution.

Lognormal Distribution

a special type of probability distribution of random variables. If X has a normal distribution and if Y = e^x, then Y will have a lognormal distribution characterized by the density

Here, m and σ are the parameters of the distribution of the variable X. The mathematical expectation Y is

m_Y = e^m + σ²/2

and the dispersion,

The sizes of particles of a crushed material (a rock, for example) and the content of many minerals in rocks obey this distribution to a good approximation.
