[scikit-learn] Fitting Lognormal Distribution

[Startup Hire]

Hi Michael,

:)


(1)  - I think you are right, how do I fit a normal distribution to the log
of values?

(2)  Intersection ---> Meeting point (s)  . as in where the curves cross
each other (it can be in multiple places too!)


Regards,
Sanant
