Generating Non-normal Data for Simulation of Structural Equation Models Using Mattson's Method.
Reinartz, Werner J.; Echambadi, Raj; Cin, Wynne W.
Multivariate Behavioral Research, v37 n2 p227-44 2002
Tested empirically the applicability of a method developed by S. Mattson for generating data on latent variables with controlled skewness and kurtosis of the observed variables. Monte Carlo simulation results suggest that Mattson's method appears to be a good approach to generate data with defined levels of skewness and kurtosis. (SLD)
