Cumulative Distribution Function of the 3-Parameter Log-Normal Distribution

Description

This function computes the cumulative probability or nonexceedance probability of the Log-Normal3 distribution given parameters (\zeta, lower bounds; \mu_{\mathrm{log}}, location; and \sigma_{\mathrm{log}}, scale) computed by parln3. The cumulative distribution function (same as Generalized Normal distribution, cdfgno) is

F(x) = \Phi(Y) \mbox{,}

where \Phi is the cumulative ditribution function of the Standard Normal distribution and Y is

Y = \frac{\log(x - \zeta) - \mu_{\mathrm{log}}}{\sigma_{\mathrm{log}}}\mbox{,}

where \zeta is the lower bounds (real space) for which \zeta < \lambda_1 - \lambda_2 (checked in are.parln3.valid), \mu_{\mathrm{log}} be the mean in natural logarithmic space, and \sigma_{\mathrm{log}} be the standard deviation in natural logarithm space for which \sigma_{\mathrm{log}} > 0 (checked in are.parln3.valid) is obvious because this parameter has an analogy to the second product moment. Letting \eta = \exp(\mu_{\mathrm{log}}), the parameters of the Generalized Normal are \zeta + \eta, \alpha = \eta\sigma_{\mathrm{log}}, and \kappa = -\sigma_{\mathrm{log}}. At this point, the algorithms (cdfgno) for the Generalized Normal provide the functional core.

Usage

cdfln3(x, para)

Arguments

x	A real value vector.
para	The parameters from parln3 or vec2par.

Value

Nonexceedance probability (F) for x.

Note

The parameterization of the Log-Normal3 results in ready support for either a known or unknown lower bounds. Details regarding the parameter fitting and control of the \zeta parameter can be seen under the Details section in parln3.
