Even in finance, which I thought was a little more rigorous, I saw unprovable monstrosities like the CAPM and its cousins, concepts of risk that existed only to make risk uniform, so professors could publish, and option pricing models that relied on lognormal price movement.

So for lognormal SD ~ 1 there are a lot of random, multiplicative, feedbacks and all are positive?

The model fits these sequences with a (slightly modified) lognormal distribution.

Columbia Engineering Professor Venkat Venkatasubramanian has led a study that examines income inequality through a new approach: he proposes that the fairest inequality of income is a lognormal distribution (a method of characterizing data patterns in probability and statistics) under ideal conditions, and that an ideal free market can «discover» this in practice.

«There's the old joke that if you have 10 regular people in a room and Bill Gates walks in, everybody gets a billion dollars richer on average — that's a lognormal distribution,» Fox - Kemper said.

Fox - Kemper noted that the downscale dissipation of 3 - D eddies follows a lognormal distribution as well.

Given the different ways that processes generate normal / lognormal (additive / multiplicative) effects, might Drew comment on why lognormal looks a better fit?

Assuming the conventional 1.5 - 4.5 K IPCC uncertainty range (and its translation by Wigley & Raper, 2001, into a lognormal pdf assuming the range to be a 90 % confidence interval), this risk of overshooting 2 °C is about 75 % (13 %) in equilibrium for 550ppm (400ppm) CO2 equivalence stabilization.

Sure, it is convenient to assume a lognormal distribution (i.e., percentage gains and losses follow a normal, Gaussian, bell shaped curve).

[Actually, lognormal.

The reason why analysis is done geometrically is because the distribution of stock returns is assumed to be lognormal (even though it's really more like logLaplace).

[A lognormal distribution means that the percentage gains are losses are normally distributed.

Gummy was able to prove that if stock returns have a lognormal distribution, then Gummy's Magic Sum has a lognormal distribution as well.

They are close enough to being lognormal, however, to support the hypothesis except under very unusual circumstances.

Each can be approximated reasonably well by a standard normal (Gaussian, bell shaped) distribution in terms of percentages (i.e., they are lognormal).

The distribution looks like a lognormal with standard deviation of about 0.91 — and that's got a pretty serious kurtosis.

A fit to a lognormal with mean 1.18 and standard deviation of 0.51 doesn't give a terrible fit.

Oh, BTW, I was in error — the lognormal standard deviation is probably about 0.25.

One useful way of looking at it is to look at how much the best - fit parameters of your distribution (again, you probably want to use a lognormal) change as you add data.
