## @deftypefn {Function File} {[@var{m}, @var{v}] =} lognstat (@var{mu}, @var{sigma})
## Returns mean and variance of the lognormal distribution
##
## @subheading Arguments
##
## @itemize @bullet
## @item
## @var{mu} is the first parameter of the lognormal distribution

## @var{sigma} must be positive or zero
## @end itemize
## @var{mu} and @var{sigma} must be of common size or one of them must be
## scalar
