A Method for Simulating Nonnormal Distributions with Specified L-Skew, L-Kurtosis, and L-Correlation

Figure 2

Two asymmetric - distributions pdfs and their associated cdfs. The parameters of skew ( ) and kurtosis ( ) are based on (A.2) in the appendix. The parameters of -skew ( ) and -kurtosis ( ) are based on (3.15) and (3.16). The distribution in (b) is a local pdf in the range of .
