Lognormal I believe most often is used to describe a normal
distribution after logarithm transform, while logarithmic
distribution in the sense of Kendall-Stuart is else (I didn't
really grasp KS' formalism).
BTW, I queried how the fit was done because I can't find the same
figures as the Fisher 1943 example, assigning q=0.97293 I come
with 135.05 (ok), 65.7 (instead of the published 67.33),
42.6 (instead of 44.75), 31.1 (instead of 33.46), etc.
Thanks for your suggestion,
Vincent
