Approximations to the Distribution of Weighted Log-Normal Variates
This work introduces three different approximations to the distribution of weighted log-normal variates. Numerical methods are used to express the density function as a Gauss-Hermite quadrature and a Gauss-Laguerre quadrature. The third approximation was the expression of the density function as a mixture of gamma function. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the method and equality of the first four moments are observed. However, a general method is introduced to equate as many moments as required.
