I have a particular set of data which I have proven has a
log normal distribution. THis is because the log normal is
the best fit.

When I plot the Probability function, the value of the log
normal starts from zero. However, rather than startign the
log normal from zero, is there some way of shifting the log
normal to accout for negative values of x, so that at x =
0, the probability is non zero and positive, but while x
tends to infinity, the probability tends to 0?

Cheers
