dlnorm3: The Lognormal Distribution (3 Parameter)

In qualityTools: Statistical Methods for Quality Science

Description

Density function, distribution function and quantile function for the Lognormal distribution.

Usage

dlnorm3(x, meanlog, sdlog, threshold)
plnorm3(q, meanlog, sdlog, threshold)
qlnorm3(p, meanlog, sdlog, threshold, ...)

Arguments

x, q	vector of quantiles
p	vector of probabilities
meanlog, sdlog	mean and standard deviation of the distribution on the log scale with default values of ‘0’ and ‘1’ respectively.
threshold	threshold parameter by default 0
...	Arguments that can be passed into uniroot.

Details

The Lognorm distribution with ‘meanlog’ parameter zeta, ‘meansd’ parameter sigma and ‘threshold’ parameter theta has density given by

f(x) = (1/(sqrt(2*pi)*sigma*(x-theta)))
*exp(-(((log((x-theta))-zeta)^2)/(2*(sigma)^2)))

The cumulative distribution function is given by

F(x) = pnorm((log((x-theta))-zeta)/sigma)

Value

dlnorm3 gives the density, plnorm3 gives the distribution function and qlnorm3 gives the quantile function.

Note

qlnorm3 calls uniroot for each value of the argument ‘p’. The solution is consequently not exact; the ... can be used to obtain a more accurate solution if necessary.
