public class JohnsonSUDistribution
extends Distribution

This class models the Johnson SU (Special Unbounded) distribution with specified first 4 parameters (mean, SD, skewness, kurtosis): The Johnson family of distributions (N.L. Johnson, 1949), is a versatile model distribution. It is based on a transformation of the standard normal variable, and includes 4 forms: 1. Unbounded: the set of distributions that go to infinity in both the upper or lower tail. 2. Bounded: the set of distributions that have a fixed boundary on either the upper or lower tail, or both. 3. Log Normal: a border between the Unbounded and Bounded distribution forms. 4. Normal: a special case of the Unbounded form. The flexibility of Johnson family of distributions comes from the choice of form and fitting parameters which allows better fits data. The Johnson family involves a transformation of the raw variable to a Normal variable. This facilitates the estimates of the percentiles of the fitted distribution to be calculated from the Normal distribution percentiles. http://www.qualityamerica.com/knowledgecente/knowctrBest_Fit_Johnson.htm http://www.mathwave.com/articles/johnson_su_distribution.html
