Inverse Lognormal Distribution: A Step-by-Step Guide to Deriving its Inverse Function
Inverse of the Lognormal Distribution: A Step-by-Step Guide The lognormal distribution is a widely used probability distribution in statistics and finance. It is characterized by two parameters, the mean (μ) and the standard deviation (σ), which are typically denoted as mu and sig respectively. While there are many applications and uses of the lognormal distribution, one of its most valuable features is the ability to derive its inverse, also known as the quantile function.
