The “rlnorm” Function in R

  • Package: Base R (no specific package required)

  • Purpose: Generates random numbers from a log-normal distribution.

  • General Class: Random Number Generation

  • Required Argument(s):

    • n: The number of random values to generate.

    • meanlog: The mean of the natural logarithm of the distribution.

    • sdlog: The standard deviation of the natural logarithm of the distribution.

  • Notable Optional Arguments:

    • None.

  • Example:

  • # Generate 100 random values from a log-normal distribution
    random_values <- rlnorm(n = 100, meanlog = 0, sdlog = 1)
    print(random_values)

  • In this example, the rlnorm function is used to generate 100 random values from a log-normal distribution with a mean of the natural logarithm equal to 0 and a standard deviation of the natural logarithm equal to 1. The generated values are then printed to the console.
