Colin, I would like to report the results of a lognormal fit to my data (using poweRlaw), but I do not know if the first parameter in my estimation is the 饾憵饾憭饾憫饾憱饾憥饾憶=exp(饾渿)=饾渻 or 饾渿. From the example with the moby corpus, it seems that the parameter is 饾渿, as its value is negative (-17.9), but the documentation is frankly lacking in this sense, as it focuses mostly on power laws. Can you help me with this simple issue? Maybe add something in this sense to the documentation would help. Thanks for the hard work!

Thx, Colin. Can you, please, see the other issue that I posted? The one about estimate_xmin?
