Lognormal (VSL_RNG_METHOD_LOGNORMAL_ICDF/VSL_RNG_METHOD_LOGNORMAL_ICDF_ACCURATE)

Random number generator of the lognormal distribution with parameters a,σ, b and β. You can generate any successive random number x of the lognormal distribution by the inverse transformation method from the formula

where y is a successive random number of a normal (Gaussian) distribution with parameters a and σ.

The random numbers of the normal distribution are generated using method VSL_RNG_METHOD_GAUSSIAN_ICDF.
