Abstract
Individual values are logarithmically transformed for the use of the lognormal distribution. The type of logarithm is of no importance, and either the natural logarithm, which is based on the natural number e=2.7183 (thus x is transformed to ln x), or the decimal logarithm to the base 10 (thus x is transformed to log x) can be used12.
