Abstract

This paper presents simple criteria which can be used to select which of the three members of the Johnson System of distributions should be used for fitting a set of data. The paper also presents elementary formulas for estimating the parameters for each of the members of the family. Thus, many obstacles to the use of the Johnson System are resolved.
