Is this what you mean by "log normalization"? https://www.spec2000.net/08-normalization.htm

I haven't read much further, perhaps you make it explicit later on.



I took the natural logarithm of the stock's daily returns. Then when estimating option prices I performed the reverse operation:

> exp(1) ^ dist[["x"]]

OK well that is not commonly called "log normalization". It is called "using log returns".


Fixed that, thanks! (should take effect in a while)
