Discover what a log-normal distribution is, its financial applications, and how to calculate it, including using Excel for practical financial analysis.

A Log-Normal distribution function is the normal distribution for the logarithm of the variable. In linear scale it is a highly skewed distribution with a long tail in the high productivity side.

The moments are obtained for a bivariate normal distribution which is singly truncated with respect to both variables; the variables may be correlated. From these moments the parameters of the ...
