Advantages faster and avoids optimization engine failing
Disadvantages requires additional code to handle special case.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the current lnorm fitting path and the optimization engine used for distributions. Compare the existing approach with a closed-form solution, then determine which special-case handling and validation would be needed before deciding what a completed implementation should cover.
