The novel Balakrishnan skew-normal distribution was introduced in 2008. The only known scheme for simulating from this distribution is based on acceptance/rejection sampling. Here, we introduce an alternative scheme that is more efficient. We also derive various stochastic representations for...

Soltani and Shirvani (Comput Stat 25:155–161, <CitationRef CitationID="CR10">2010</CitationRef>) proposed a scheme for simulating truncated stable random variables. That involves solving a nonlinear transformation in each realization. Here, we propose alternative schemes to generate truncated stable random variables. Our schemes are more...</citationref>
