Hi,
Is it possible to use the function 'trandn' to draw random number from a lognormal distribution?
For example:
mu=2;
sigma=1;
upper_bound=10;
Thanks

An easy way to get random numbers from a lognormal distribution is to get random numbers from a normal distribution and then exponentiate them. So you could use trand to generate truncated normals (rn) and then form rln = exp(rn).
