class mindspore.nn.probability.distribution.LogNormal(loc=None, scale=None, seed=0, dtype=mstype.float32, name='LogNormal')[source]

LogNormal distribution. A log-normal (or lognormal) distribution is a continuous probability distribution of a random variable whose logarithm is normally distributed. The log-normal distribution has the range \((0, \inf)\) with the pdf as

\[f(x, \mu, \sigma) = 1 / x\sigma\sqrt{2\pi} \exp(-(\ln(x) - \mu)^2 / 2\sigma^2).\]

where \(\mu, \sigma\) are the mean and the standard deviation of the underlying normal distribution respectively. It is constructed as the exponential transformation of a Normal distribution.

Parameters

  • loc (int, float, list, numpy.ndarray, Tensor) – The mean of the underlying Normal distribution. Default: None .

  • scale (int, float, list, numpy.ndarray, Tensor) – The standard deviation of the underlying Normal distribution. Default: None .

  • seed (int) – the seed used in sampling. The global seed is used if it is None. Default: 0 .

  • dtype (mindspore.dtype) – type of the distribution. Default: mstype.float32 .

  • name (str) – the name of the distribution. Default: 'LogNormal' .

Note

scale must be greater than zero. dist_spec_args are loc and scale. dtype must be a float type because LogNormal distributions are continuous.

Raises

  • ValueError – When scale <= 0.

  • TypeError – When the input dtype is not a subclass of float.

Supported Platforms:

Ascend GPU
