A generalized form of the usual Lognormal distribution, denoted with γ, is introduced through the γ-order Normal distribution γ, with its p.d.f. defined into (0,+∞). The study of the c.d.f. of γ is focused on a heuristic method that provides global approximations with two anchor points, at zero and at infinity. Also evaluations are provided while certain bounds are obtained.
