The log-normal distribution is transformation of a standard normal variable, where for a standard normal variable t, then a random variable x follows a log-normal distribution, with the form:
x = e^(μ + t * σ)
where:
μ = mean
σ = standard deviation (sample)
The distribution takes the positive values of x. The cumulative distributive function of the log-normal distribution (the area between 0 and x) is:
pdf = 1/2 * (1 + erf((ln x - μ) ÷ (σ * √2)) )
erf is the error function.
erf(θ) = 2 ÷ √(π) * ∫(e^(-s^2) ds, s = 0 to s = θ)
This program on today's blog focuses on the relationship between the distribution mean (μ), standard deviation (σ), the arithmetic expected value (E[x]), and the arithmetic variance (Var[x]):
E[x] =e^(μ + σ^2 ÷ 2)
Var[x] = (e^(σ^2) - 1) * e^(2 * μ + σ^2)
μ = ln( E[x]^2 ÷ √(Var[x] + E[x]^2) )
σ = √( ln (1 + Var[x] ÷ E[x]^2 ) )
Calculate E[x] and Var[x] from μ and σ
Instructions:
To find E[x] and Var[x]:
1. Store μ in memory register 1
2. Store σ in memory register 2
3. Run the program. E[x] is shown in the X stack and is stored in memory register 3. Var[x] is shown in the Y stack in memory register 4.
Code:
(Step: Key Code: Key)
(assume program starts with step 00)
Lines 01 to 03: Store σ^2 in memory register 0
Examples (answers are rounded to four decimal places):
Example 1
Inputs: μ = 1, σ = 0.5
Results: E[x] = 3.0802, Var[x] = 2.6948
Example 2
Inputs: μ = 0, σ = 1
Results: E[x] = 1.6487, Var[x] = 4.6708
