In this study we present a closed form solution to the moments and, in particular, correlation of two log-normally distributed random variables, where the underlying log-normal distribution is potentially truncated and censored at both tails. Throughout the analysis we further assume that the parameters of the unconstrained bivariate log-normal distribution are known. The closed form solution also covers the cases where one tail is truncated and the other is censored.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
