Generalizations of the symmetric Tukey lambda distributions to asymmetric random variables are considered. These distributions, defined via inverses F-1 of their distribution functions, yield simple algorithms useful in Monte Carlo studies and they are also useful in fitting data. Here a recently recommended measure of skewness is used to determine the skewness of such distributions. This skewness measure is also adapted to the measurement of the kurtosis of members of the symmetric class. Applciations to the simulation of symmetric long-tailed distributions and to the selection of appropriate members of the Tukey families as approximations are considered. Some insight into the interpretation of Monte Carlo studies of tests of normality is presented |
