Creates a variable
Description
Generates variable with g-and-h distribution.
Usage
CreateVariable(n, g, h, uniform)
Arguments
n |
Size of sample to create |
g |
Parameter used to control asymmetry (scalar); sign indicates direction and absolute value indicates magnitude of skew (e.g., +/- .30 yields substantial asymmetry). |
h |
Parameter used to control tail weight (scalar); positive values yield tails that are longer/thinner than a standard normal curve, negative values do the reverse (e.g., +/- .15 is a substantial departure from normality). |
uniform |
Whether to generate random values (the program default) or use uniformly distributed quantiles (T/F). |
Details
Called by higher-order functions; users do not need to call this function directly.
Value
Single variable
