Gaussian transformation
one way is the rank transform: x = rgamma(100, 0.1) hist(x) y = qnorm((order(x)/(length(x) + 0.5))) qqnorm(y) but transforming your conditionally simulated values back will be tricky. And I'm not sure about the 0.5.

I would like to perform a gaussian conditional simulation on a variable that is highly skewed. Could someone suggest me how to transform my variable in a gaussian distribution? Thanks, Carlo
