If the logarithm of an uncertain variable X has a uniform distribution, that is
then X is distributed with a loguniform distribution. The distribution lower bound is
and upper bound is
The loguniform distribution has the density function:
For some methods, including vector and centered parameter studies, an initial point is needed for the uncertain variables. When not given explicitly, these variables are initialized to their means.
