Hello,
I was interested in trying to write an R script to calculate a UCL for a
lognormal distribution using the Chebyshev Inequality MVUE Approach (based on
EPAs guidance found in http://www.epa.gov/oswer/riskassessment/pdf/ucl.pdf).
This looks like it should be straight forward, but I am need to calculate an
MVUE for the population mean and an MVUE for the population variance, which
requires a value (g_n) from a table A7, found in Aitchison and Brown (1969):
The lognormal distribution. I have looked across the RSiteSearch and can not
seem to find a function that will give me g_n or the MVUE for mean and variance
of lognormal distribution.
Is there an R function that will give me g_n or will calculate an MVUE for the
population mean and variance for the lognormal distribution?
