Aspects of the lognormal function in the analysis of regional population distribution.
"The spatial structure of population within a metropolitan-area-based region is approached via the population density function, in much the same way as has been undertaken for a city or metropolitan area.... The concern in the balance of the paper is with certain properties lognormal form.... Consideration is given first to properties based on density.  The population form of the lognormal function is then derived, and properties based on population are examined.  Attention is also given to relationships among density-based and population-based properties."  The approach is illustrated using data for London, England, for the period 1971-1981.
