Maxima Function

Calling Sequence

random_lognormal (m,s)
random_lognormal(m,s,n)

Description

Returns a Lognormal(m,s) random variate, with s>0. Calling random_lognormal with a third argument n, a random sample of size n will be simulated.

Log-normal variates are simulated by means of random normal variates. There are two algorithms implemented for this function, the one to be used can be selected giving a certain value to the global variable random_normal_algorithm, which defaults to box_mueller.
