Johnson S_B Distribution

Syntax: JSB(minimum, maximum, shape1, shape2, stream)

The Johnson S_B distribution (continuous) could be used to model the time required to perform some task when the possible values are restricted to the finite interval [minimum, maximum]. The density function is skewed to the left, symmetric, or skewed to the right if shape1 > 0, shape1 = 0, or shape1 < 0, respectively. The Johnson S_B distribution is closely related to the classical normal distribution - see the book Simulation Modeling and Analysis (Third Edition) by Law and Kelton (2000) for details. Parameter restrictions are shape2 > 0.0 and maximum > minimum.

Stream allows you to specify the random number stream for the distribution. There are 215 streams. Stream 1 is the default. See Seeds or Appendix D of the User's Guide for more information.
