EXCEL LOGINV FUNCTION
Excel LOGINV Function Introduction
For a given probability, the Excel LOGINV function computes the inverse of the Cumulative Log-Normal Density Function of x.
Description of Excel LOGINV Function
Syntax :
=LOGINV( probability, mean, standard_dev )
Parameters :
- The following parameter are:
Probability –
- The value at which the inverse function should be evaluated.
mean –
- ln’s arithmetic mean (x).
standard dev –
- The ln standard error (x).
Step By Step Guide of LOGINV Function
Example :
The Inverse Log-Normal Continuous Distribution Function of x is seen in the graphic on the right. ln(x) has a mean of 2 and a variance of 0.2.
If you wish to compute the value of x given a probability of 0.3, use the Excel Loginv function, as shown below:
=LOGINV( 0.3, 2, 0.2 )
This gives the result 6.653346076.
Key Points
- #NUM! – Occurs if any of the following conditions are met: the supplied probability parameter is 0 or 1; the given standard dev argument is 0.
- #VALUE! – This error occurs if any of the supplied parameters is not a number.
