The Normal and Lognormal Distributions
2012In Chap. 6, we discussed discrete random variables and their distributions. Particularly, we focused on the means and variances of binomial, hypergeometric, and Poisson distributions. Although the distributions derived from these discrete random variables are useful, they are limited.

Pseudo‐Lognormal Distributions
Ecology, 1981Some statistical “distributions” which, when plotted on an “arithmetical” basis, do not in the least resemble a normal or Gaussian distribution, become very similar to one when plotted on a logarithmic or “geometrical” basis. In this paper I examine in particular the difference of two declining exponential curves, and, as a special case, a simple ...

The Use of the Lognormal Distribution
1998Individual values are logarithmically transformed for the use of the lognormal distribution. The type of logarithm is of no importance, and either the natural logarithm, which is based on the natural number e=2.7183 (thus x is transformed to ln x), or the decimal logarithm to the base 10 (thus x is transformed to log x) can be used12.
