Mixture of Normal, Formulas for Skew and Kurtosis
Mixture of normal distributions is a simple and intuitive way to create distributions with skew and kurtosis by mixing or adding two or more normal distributions. These are well known formulas, but for some reason every time I need to use them I have trouble locating them. So here they are for everyone's reference.
Define cdf and pdf as:
=\sum_{i=1}^{n}{p_i}\Phi%20(\frac{x-\mu_i}{\sigma_i})%20\\%20f(x)=\sum_{i=1}^{n}{p_i}\phi%20(x;\mu_i,\sigma_i^2)%20\\%20\phi%20(x;\mu_i,\sigma_i^2)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}\sigma_i}e^{-\frac{(x-\mu_i)^2}{2\sigma_i^2}}%20\\%200\leq%20p_i%20\leq%201,%20\sum_{i=1}^n{p_i}=1 "\dpi{150} \bg_black \dpi{150} \bg_black \\ F(x)=\sum_{i=1}^{n}{p_i}\Phi (\frac{x-\mu_i}{\sigma_i}) \\ f(x)=\sum_{i=1}^{n}{p_i}\phi (x;\mu_i,\sigma_i^2) \\ \phi (x;\mu_i,\sigma_i^2)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}\sigma_i}e^{-\frac{(x-\mu_i)^2}{2\sigma_i^2}} \\ 0\leq p_i \leq 1, \sum_{i=1}^n{p_i}=1")
Then moments of x are:
-\mu^2%20\\%20skew%20=%20\frac{1}{\sigma^3}\sum_{i=1}^{n}{p_i}(\mu_i-\mu)[3\sigma_i^2+(\mu_i-\mu)^2]%20\\%20kurtosis%20=%20\frac{1}{\sigma^4}\sum_{i=1}^{n}{p_i}[3\sigma_i^4+6(\mu_i-\mu)^2\sigma_i^2+(\mu_i-\mu)^4] "\dpi{150} \bg_black \\ \mu=\sum_{i=1}^{n}{p_i}\mu_i \\ \sigma^2 = \sum_{i=1}^{n}{p_i}(\sigma_i^2+\mu_i^2)-\mu^2 \\ skew = \frac{1}{\sigma^3}\sum_{i=1}^{n}{p_i}(\mu_i-\mu)[3\sigma_i^2+(\mu_i-\mu)^2] \\ kurtosis = \frac{1}{\sigma^4}\sum_{i=1}^{n}{p_i}[3\sigma_i^4+6(\mu_i-\mu)^2\sigma_i^2+(\mu_i-\mu)^4]")
