How do I get a lognormal distribution in Python with Mu and Sigma?

Question

I have been trying to get the result of a lognormal distribution using Scipy. I already have the Mu and Sigma, so I don\'t need to do any other prep work. If I need to be

It sounds like you want to instantiate a "frozen" distribution from known parameters. In your example, you could do something like:

from scipy.stats import lognorm
stddev = 0.859455801705594
mean = 0.418749176686875
dist=lognorm([stddev],loc=mean)

which will give you a lognorm distribution object with the mean and standard deviation you specify. You can then get the pdf or cdf like this:

import numpy as np
import pylab as pl
x=np.linspace(0,6,200)
pl.plot(x,dist.pdf(x))
pl.plot(x,dist.cdf(x))

Is this what you had in mind?
