This must have been addressed here before, but I can't
find it.
I have a dataset of 1500 observations, each with an
identifier and a -y- value. -y- is highly skewed, and
nothing I've tried seems to normalize it.
I'd like to simulate the distribution of -y-. Is there
a reasonable way to do this if I can't find a transform
of it that looks like a standard distribution?
thanks,
Jeph
