Lognormal distribution MLE

December 27th, 2011, 2:39 pm

I have a series of data which pretty much follow a log normal distribution. I want to take the MLE to extract the first two moments; however, the distribution is truncated. That is, my data starts at 1 not at 0. I have been using the dfittool of matlab but I am just not able to truncate my distribution at 1. Any guess?Thank you,Alan
