lognormal_log2normal

PURPOSE

convert mean and std dev of Gaussian random variable into

SYNOPSIS

function [mu,sigma] = lognormal_log2normal(mu_log,sigma_log,convention)

DESCRIPTION

 convert mean and std dev of Gaussian random variable into
 characteristics of random variable  Y = exp(X) 
 convention 'arithmetic': mean and std dev of Y
 convention 'geometric': geometric mean and  spread = geom.mean * (geom.std.dev - 1 ) of Y

CROSS-REFERENCE INFORMATION

This function calls:

default commandstring = default(varname1,defaultvalue1,varname2,defaultvalue2,...)

This function is called by:

replicate_regression [result, options] = replicate_regression(t, y, sigma, r, flag_fix_parameters, varargin)
