# cdfln3: Cumulative Distribution Function of the 3-Parameter... In lmomco: L-Moments, Censored L-Moments, Trimmed L-Moments, L-Comoments, and Many Distributions

## Description

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

F(x) = Φ(Y) \mbox{,}

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

Y = \frac{\log(x - ζ) - μ_{\mathrm{log}}}{σ_{\mathrm{log}}}\mbox{,}

where ζ is the lower bounds (real space) for which ζ < λ_1 - λ_2 (checked in are.parln3.valid), μ_{\mathrm{log}} be the mean in natural logarithmic space, and σ_{\mathrm{log}} be the standard deviation in natural logarithm space for which σ_{\mathrm{log}} > 0 (checked in are.parln3.valid) is obvious because this parameter has an analogy to the second product moment. Letting η = \exp(μ_{\mathrm{log}}), the parameters of the Generalized Normal are ζ + η, α = ησ_{\mathrm{log}}, and κ = -σ_{\mathrm{log}}. At this point, the algorithms (cdfgno) for the Generalized Normal provide the functional core.

## Usage

 1 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 ζ parameter can be seen under the Details section in parln3.
