Example 10.2: Estimating Parameters from Lognormal Plots

Note: You must specify a value for the shape parameter for a lognormal Q-Q plot with the SIGMA= option or its alias, the SHAPE= option. The plot in Output 10.2.2 displays the most linear point pattern ...

Example 9.2: Displaying a Lognormal Reference Line

This example is a continuation of "Creating Lognormal Probability Plots". Figure 9.4 shows that a lognormal distribution with shape parameter is a good fit for the distribution of DIAMETER in the data ...

An Upper Prediction Limit for the Arithmetic Mean of a Lognormal Random Variable

In this article we construct an upper prediction limit for the arithmetic mean of a future sample from a lognormal distribution. First, we present three approximate distributions for the total of the ...

Truncated lognormals as a power-law mimic in operational risk

Real operational loss data in some cases exhibits power laws on a wide part of the tail distributions, with sharp deviations far to the right, suggesting they decrease to zero faster at infinity.

Inbreeding reduces power-law scaling in the distribution of fluctuating asymmetry: an explanation of the basis of developmental instability

The study of fluctuating asymmetry has been controversial because of conflicting results found in much of the primary literature. It has been suggested that the source of this conflict is the fact ...
