Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

NPM version Build Status Coverage Status

Lognormal distribution constructor.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/stats-base-dists-lognormal-ctor

Usage

var LogNormal = require( '@stdlib/stats-base-dists-lognormal-ctor' );

LogNormal( [mu, sigma] )

Returns a lognormal distribution object.

var lognormal = new LogNormal();

var mean = lognormal.mean;
// returns ~1.649

By default, mu = 0.0 and sigma = 1.0. To create a distribution having a different mu (location parameter) and sigma (scale parameter), provide the corresponding arguments.

var lognormal = new LogNormal( 2.0, 4.0 );

var mu = lognormal.mean;
// returns ~22026.466

lognormal

A lognormal distribution object has the following properties and methods...

Writable Properties

lognormal.mu

Location parameter of the distribution.

var lognormal = new LogNormal();

var mu = lognormal.mu;
// returns 0.0

lognormal.mu = 3.0;

mu = lognormal.mu;
// returns 3.0

lognormal.sigma

Scale parameter of the distribution. sigma must be a positive number.

var lognormal = new LogNormal( 2.0, 4.0 );

var sigma = lognormal.sigma;
// returns 4.0

lognormal.sigma = 3.0;

sigma = lognormal.sigma;
// returns 3.0

Computed Properties

LogNormal.prototype.entropy

Returns the differential entropy.

var lognormal = new LogNormal( 4.0, 12.0 );

var entropy = lognormal.entropy;
// returns ~7.904

LogNormal.prototype.kurtosis

Returns the excess kurtosis.

var lognormal = new LogNormal( 4.0, 12.0 );

var kurtosis = lognormal.kurtosis;
// returns 1.4243659274306933e+250

LogNormal.prototype.mean

Returns the expected value.

var lognormal = new LogNormal( 4.0, 12.0 );

var mu = lognormal.mean;
// returns 1.0148003881138887e+33

LogNormal.prototype.median

Returns the median.

var lognormal = new LogNormal( 4.0, 12.0 );

var median = lognormal.median;
// returns ~54.598

LogNormal.prototype.mode

Returns the mode.

var lognormal = new LogNormal( 4.0, 12.0 );

var mode = lognormal.mode;
// returns 1.580420060273613e-61

LogNormal.prototype.skewness

Returns the skewness.

var lognormal = new LogNormal( 4.0, 12.0 );

var skewness = lognormal.skewness;
// returns 6.421080152185613e+93

LogNormal.prototype.stdev

Returns the standard deviation.

var lognormal = new LogNormal( 4.0, 12.0 );

var s = lognormal.stdev;
// returns 1.886180808490652e+64

LogNormal.prototype.variance

Returns the variance.

var lognormal = new LogNormal( 4.0, 12.0 );

var s2 = lognormal.variance;
// returns 3.55767804231845e+128

Methods

LogNormal.prototype.cdf( x )

Evaluates the cumulative distribution function (CDF).

var lognormal = new LogNormal( 2.0, 4.0 );

var y = lognormal.cdf( 0.5 );
// returns ~0.25

LogNormal.prototype.logcdf( x )

Evaluates the natural logarithm of the cumulative distribution function (CDF).

var lognormal = new LogNormal( 0.0, 1.0 );

var y = lognormal.logcdf( 2.0 );
// returns ~-0.2799

LogNormal.prototype.logpdf( x )

Evaluates the natural logarithm of the probability density function (PDF).

var lognormal = new LogNormal( 2.0, 4.0 );

var y = lognormal.logpdf( 2.0 );
// returns ~-3.052

LogNormal.prototype.pdf( x )

Evaluates the probability density function (PDF).

var lognormal = new LogNormal( 2.0, 4.0 );

var y = lognormal.pdf( 2.0 );
// returns ~0.047

LogNormal.prototype.quantile( p )

Evaluates the quantile function at probability p.

var lognormal = new LogNormal( 2.0, 4.0 );

var y = lognormal.quantile( 0.5 );
// returns ~7.389

y = lognormal.quantile( 1.9 );
// returns NaN

Examples

var LogNormal = require( '@stdlib/stats-base-dists-lognormal-ctor' );

// returns ~7.389

var s2 = lognormal.variance;
// returns ~255.016

var y = lognormal.cdf( 0.8 );
// returns ~0.013
