In the standard lognormal distribution, the mean and standard deviation of logarithmic values are 0 and 1, respectively.
The lognormal distribution is applicable when the quantity of interest must be positive, because log x exists only when x is positive. Central limit theorem states that the normal distribution models the sum of independent samples from any distribution as the sample size goes to infinity.

You can also work with probability distributions using distributionspecific functions. To use pdf, create an exponentialdistribution probability distribution object and pass the object as an input argument or specify the probability distribution name and its parameters. Random numbers from normal distribution with specific mean and variance. This matlab function returns an nby1 vector y containing the probability density function pdf of the ddimensional multivariate normal distribution with zero mean and identity covariance matrix, evaluated at each row of the nbyd matrix x. The pdf values are the same as those computed using the probability distribution object.
The usual justification for using the normal distribution for modeling is the central limit theorem, which states roughly that the sum of independent samples from any distribution with finite mean and variance converges to the normal distribution as the. Normal probability plots use normplot to assess whether sample data comes from a normal distribution. Create a histogram with a normal distribution fit in each set of axes by referring to the corresponding axes object. If both mu and sigma are arrays, then the array sizes must be the same. The multivariate normal cumulative distribution function cdf evaluated at x is the probability that a random vector v, distributed as multivariate normal, lies within the semiinfinite rectangle with upper limits defined by x. You can specify the probability distribution name or a. If either mu or sigma is a scalar, then normrnd expands the scalar argument into a constant array of the same size as the other argument.
