Generate random samples from a log normal distribution

Description

Generator method for creating a single-column Spark dataframes comprised of i.i.d. samples from a log normal distribution.

Usage

  sc,
  n,
  meanlog = 0,
  sdlog = 1,
  num_partitions = NULL,
  seed = NULL,
  output_col = "x"
)

Arguments

Argument	Description
sc	A Spark connection.
n	Sample Size (default: 1000).
meanlog	The mean of the normally distributed natural logarithm of this distribution.
sdlog	The Standard deviation of the normally distributed natural logarithm of this distribution.
