https://communities.sas.com/t5/Statistical-Procedures/Generating-lognormal-random-numbers/m-p/72543#M3484 I want to confirm if the following is a correct form to generate random numbers coming from a lognormal distribution with a threshold parameter of 10,000, scale parameter of 9.0 and shape parameter of 0.8:<BR /> <BR /> x=10000+exp(9+0.8*rannor(123))<BR /> <BR /> Is there another way to do this?

I have a problem regarding lognormal random numbers too:<BR /> <BR /> Does anyone know how to generate random numbers coming from a lognormal distribution, when this resulting lognormal distribution should have a certain mean and variance?<BR /> <BR /> I think it works like zomorales suggested it. But I don´t know how to set the scale and shape parameter to get a certain mean and variance for x.
