Example 10.2: Estimating Parameters from Lognormal Plots

Note: You must specify a value for the shape parameter for a lognormal Q-Q plot with the SIGMA= option or its alias, the SHAPE= option. The plot in Output 10.2.2 displays the most linear point pattern ...

The log-dynamic brain: how skewed distributions affect network operations

At many physiological and anatomical levels in the brain, the distribution of numerous parameters is strongly skewed with a heavy tail and typically follows a lognormal distribution. The power and ...

Inbreeding reduces power-law scaling in the distribution of fluctuating asymmetry: an explanation of the basis of developmental instability

The study of fluctuating asymmetry has been controversial because of conflicting results found in much of the primary literature. It has been suggested that the source of this conflict is the fact ...

Parametric Distributions

A parametric family of distributions is a collection of distributions with a known form that is indexed by a set of quantities called parameters. Methods based on parametric distributions of normal, ...
