Hi all,
Is anyone familiar with the halls adjustment for skewness? Is there any
good reference on this? There is a johnsons adjustment but how is halls
measure better than johnsons method. Any pointers in the right direction
is valuable..
Thanks

There has been a special issue of the Stata journal on maximum
simulated likelihood: 2006, vol 6, nr 2. The authors seem to tackle a
similar problem, so the example code in that issue might contain a
solution.
Hope this helps,
