The Johnson's S_U-distribution is a four-parameter family of probability distributions first investigated by N. L. Johnson in 1949.^[1]^[2] Johnson proposed it as a transformation of the normal distribution:^[3]

z=\gamma +\delta \sinh ^{-1}\left({\frac {x-\xi }{\lambda }}\right)

where $z\sim {\mathcal {N}}(0,1)$ .

Generation of random variables

Let U be a random variable that is uniformly distributed on the unit interval [0, 1]. Johnson's S_U random variables can be generated from U as follows:

x=\lambda \sinh \left({\frac {\Phi ^{{-1}}(U)-\gamma }{\delta }}\right)+\xi

where Φ is the cumulative distribution function of the normal distribution.

Johnson's S_B-distribution

N. L. Johnson ^[1] firstly proposes the transformation :

z=\gamma +\delta \log \left({\frac {x-\xi }{\xi +\lambda -x}}\right)

where $z\sim {\mathcal {N}}(0,1)$ .

Johnson's S_B random variables can be generated from U as follows:

x=\lambda \left(1+\exp \left(-{\frac {\Phi ^{-1}(U)-\gamma }{\delta }}\right)\right)+\xi

where Φ is the cumulative distribution function of the normal distribution. S_B-distribution is convenient to Platykurtic distributions (Kurtosis).
