Lognormal Distribution

The lognormal distribution has the probability density function
f(y) = \frac{1}{y-\theta}
 \frac{1}{\sqrt{2{\pi}} \sigma }
 \exp( - \frac{1}2
 ( \frac{{\log}(y-\theta)-\zeta}{\sigma} )^2 )
  {for y\gt\theta}

where \theta is the threshold parameter, \zeta is the scale parameter, and \sigma is the shape parameter.

The cumulative distribution function is

F(y) = \Phi( \frac{{\log}(y-\theta)-\zeta}{\sigma} )
  {for y\gt\theta}
