As an example, consider the Johnson SU distribution with a X = 1, b X = −1, a Y = 1, and
b Y = 0. By initiating the random at randn('state', 13), random samples of Y can be simulated
using the procedure introduced in Section 1.5.4. The sample size n = 1000. The histogram
of the simulated Y data is shown in Figure 1.21a , together with the underlying PDF. The
ECDF can be computed by Equation 1.12 and is shown in Figure 1.21b . The percentiles
( y a , y b , y c , y d ) can be readily identified using MATLAB command y i = prctile( y , 100 * p i ).
Graphically, y a is the location on the horizontal axis such that the ECDF is equal to p a . The
resulting ( y a , y b , y c , y d ) are (−1.352, 0.285, 2.633, 10.773). As a result, m = y d - y c = 8.140,
n = y b - y a = 1. 637, p = y c - y b = 2.347, and mn / p 2 = 2.419. In this example, the SU family is
correctly identified from the data. In addition, the SU parameters can be identified using
Equation 1.91 : a X = 1.027, b X = −1.019, a Y = 1.040, and b Y = −0.042. These values are rea-
sonably close to the actual values a X = 1, b X = −1, a Y = 1, and b Y = 0.
1.5.3.1 Probability plot and the goodness-of-fit test (K-S test)
1.5.3.1.1 Converting a Johnson random variable into standard normal
Given the simulated Y data, it is desirable to construct a probability plot similar to Figure
1.9 t o check whether the Johnson SU distribution fits well. However, it is more convenient
to plot the “normal” probability plot for the X data converted from the Y data. In general,
this conversion has the following form:
