Notes
Several estimators to build a LogNormal distribution from a scalar sample are proposed. The default strategy is using the local likelihood maximum estimator.
Moments based estimator:
Lets denote:
the empirical mean of the sample,
its empirical variance,
its empirical skewness.
We note . The estimator of is the positive root of the relation:
(1)¶
Then we estimate using:
(2)¶
where .
Modified moments based estimator:
Using and previously defined, the third equation is:
(3)¶
The quantity is the mean of the first order statistics of a standard normal sample of size . We have:
(4)¶
where and are the PDF and CDF of the standard normal distribution. The estimator of is obtained as the solution of:
(5)¶
where . Then we have using the relations defined for the moments based estimator (2).
Local maximum likelihood estimator:
The following sums are defined:
The Maximum Likelihood estimator of is defined by:
(6)¶
Thus, satisfies the relation:
(7)¶
under the constraint .
Least squares method estimator:
The parameter is numerically optimized by non-linear least-squares:
where are computed from linear least-squares at each optimization evaluation.
When is known and the follow a Log-Normal distribution then we use linear least-squares to solve the relation:
(8)¶
And the remaining parameters are estimated with:
Examples
>>> import openturns as ot >>> ot.RandomGenerator.SetSeed(0) >>> sample = ot.LogNormal(1.5, 2.5, -1.5).getSample(1000) >>> estimated = ot.LogNormalFactory().build(sample)

Notes
According to the way the native parameters of the distribution are estimated, the parameters distribution differs:
Moments method: the asymptotic parameters distribution is normal and estimated by Bootstrap on the initial data;
Maximum likelihood method with a regular model: the asymptotic parameters distribution is normal and its covariance matrix is the inverse Fisher information matrix;
Other methods: the asymptotic parameters distribution is estimated by Bootstrap on the initial data and kernel fitting (see
KernelSmoothing
).
If another set of parameters is specified, the native parameters distribution is first estimated and the new distribution is determined from it:
if the native parameters distribution is normal and the transformation regular at the estimated parameters values: the asymptotic parameters distribution is normal and its covariance matrix determined from the inverse Fisher information matrix of the native parameters and the transformation;
in the other cases, the asymptotic parameters distribution is estimated by Bootstrap on the initial data and kernel fitting.
