Abstract: The aim is to illustrate the power of the composite lognormal distributions and to show that it provides consistently better fits than the commonly used three-parameter lognormal distribution for modeling void size distributions of the Cosmic Void Catalog (CVC) based on three different simulation and mock catalogs; dark matter, haloes and galaxies. The results will be truly beneficial for applications of composite lognormal distributions in other areas of astronomy and astrophysics. Moreover, they can potentially assist and play a crucial role in understanding the dynamical processes affecting the structure and formation of the Universe.
