Lognormal response family

lognormal() defines a one-response positive continuous distribution with formulas for log-location mu and log-scale sigma.

Usage

lognormal()

Value

A drm_family object.

Details

The model is defined on the log response scale: log(y) ~ Normal(mu, sigma^2). The fitted distributional parameter mu is therefore the mean of log(y), not the arithmetic mean of y. Ordinary mu random intercepts such as (1 | id) are supported in the first positive-continuous mixed-model slice; the independent numeric slope (0 + x | id) also fits but is a recovery-grade route only (trust the point estimate, not the interval).
