A non-Gaussian distribution is generated from a Gaussian-distributed white noise

Summary

The method used in these files is based on the Moment Based Hermite Transformation Model (MBHTM) and uses a cubic transformation to transform a Gaussian process into a non-Gaussian one. It is described in [1]. However, I mainly rely on [2] for the implementation of the code. A target skewness and a target kurtosis are used to introduce non-Gaussianity. However, the transformation only works for a limited range of skewness and kurtosis. See [2] for more details.

Content

Two files are included

  • MBHTM.m which is the main function to generare the non-Gaussian process

  • Documentation.mlx which is the example file
