Mathematics stack exchange is a question and answer site for people studying math at any level and professionals in related fields. Functions of a distribution object start with the letter d, p, q or r for density, cumulative probability, quantile, and random variate and then follow with some short form of the name of the distribution. But avoid asking for help, clarification, or responding to other answers. Each function has parameters specific to that distribution. The twoparameter lognormal distribution is the distribution of a random variable whose logarithm is normally distributed.
