The Lambert Way to Gaussianize Heavy-Tailed Data with the Inverse of Tukey’s h Transformation as a Special Case

I present a parametric, bijective transformation to generate heavy tail versions of arbitrary random variables. The tail behavior of this heavy tail Lambert  W × FX random variable depends on a tail parameter δ≥0: for δ=0, Y≡X, for δ>0 Y has heavier tails than X. For X being Gaussian it reduces t...
