RiskJohnsonMoments

Description

RiskJohnsonMoments(mean, standardDeviation, skewness, kurtosis) specifies one of four distributions functions (all members of the Johnson system) that matches the specified mean, standard deviation, skewness, and kurtosis. This resulting distribution is either a JohnsonSU, JohnsonSB, lognormal, or normal distribution.

 

Examples

RiskJohnsonMoments(10,20,4,41) returns a distribution from the Johnson family that has mean 10, standard deviation 20, skewness 4, and kurtosis 41.

RiskJohnsonMoments(A6,A7,A8,A9) returns a distribution from the Johnson family that takes the four parameters from cells A6 to A9.

 

Guidelines

standard deviation must be positive.

kurtosis must be greater than 1.
