This is not exactly an R specific question, but I think the people on this list can probably help.
I'm working on a simulation. In the model I have the first three moments of the distributions of the variables. I know how to generate a random number from a distribution given the first two moments assuming the third moment is 0. But I do not know how to generate a number drawn from a distribution with a nonzero third monument.
If someone could point me to a good reference I would appreciate it.
Thank you in advance,
