What is a log log distribution?
A log-log-normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution of a random variable whose logarithm logarithm ln(ln(x)) is normally distributed.

How do you interpret lognormal distribution?
Interpretation. Use the p-value to determine whether the data do not follow a lognormal distribution. To determine whether the data do not follow a lognormal distribution, compare the p-value to the significance level. Usually, a significance level (denoted as α or alpha) of 0.05 works well.
What is log normality?
In probability theory, a log-normal (or lognormal) distribution is a continuous probability distribution of a random variable whose logarithm is normally distributed. Thus, if the random variable X is log-normally distributed, then Y = ln(X) has a normal distribution.
What are the parameter values of the lognormal distribution?
The lognormal distribution has two parameters, μ, and σ. These are not the same as mean and standard deviation, which is the subject of another post, yet they do describe the distribution, including the reliability function. Where Φ is the standard normal cumulative distribution function, and t is time.
How do you find the mean and standard deviation of a lognormal distribution?
where σ is the shape parameter (and is the standard deviation of the log of the distribution), θ is the location parameter and m is the scale parameter (and is also the median of the distribution). If x = θ, then f(x) = 0….1.3. 6.6. 9. Lognormal Distribution.
| Mean | e^{0.5\sigma^{2}} |

| Coefficient of Variation | \sqrt{e^{\sigma^{2}} – 1} |
Who discovered lognormal distribution?
Galton, F., Proc. Roy. Soc, 29, 365 (1879).
How do you calculate lognormal distribution parameters?
Lognormal distribution formulas
- Mean of the lognormal distribution: exp(μ + σ² / 2)
- Median of the lognormal distribution: exp(μ)
- Mode of the lognormal distribution: exp(μ – σ²)
- Variance of the lognormal distribution: [exp(σ²) – 1] ⋅ exp(2μ + σ²)
- Skewness of the lognormal distribution: [exp(σ²) + 2] ⋅ √[exp(σ²) – 1]
What is the standard deviation of a lognormal distribution?

| Range | 0 to \infty |
| Standard Deviation | \sqrt{e^{\sigma^{2}} (e^{\sigma^{2}} – 1)} |
| Skewness | (e^{\sigma^{2}}+2) \sqrt{e^{\sigma^{2}} – 1} |
| Kurtosis | (e^{\sigma^{2}})^{4} + 2(e^{\sigma^{2}})^{3} + 3(e^{\sigma^{2}})^{2} – 3 |
What is lognormal distribution used for?
The lognormal distribution is used to describe load variables, whereas the normal distribution is used to describe resistance variables. However, a variable that is known as never taking on negative values is normally assigned a lognormal distribution rather than a normal distribution.
