I am trying to recreate a lognormal distribution from a paper I'm reading:http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/eid/vol10no4/03-0509.htm
The paper says "Lognormal distributions were fitted to these data by maximizing the log-likelihood function. In subsequent modeling, the duration of individual latent periods and infectious periods could then be taken from the fitted lognormal distributions in Figure 1 with means (SD) of 4.3(1.8) and 2.5(1.2) days.Figure 1"
I've been trying to use the lognormdist function in excel to recreate the distribution in the paper but have been unsuccessful, can someone help me figure out how to input the mean and SD into excel so that my curves looks like the ones in figure 1 of the paper?
Thanks!
