An algorithm to determine the parameters of S_U-curves in the johnson system of probabillity distributions by moment matching Footnote^∗

^∗This paper was written while the author was a visiting scholar in the Finance Area at the Schulich School of Business. I would like to thank Dr. Moshe Milevsky, who introduced me to the problem and acted as a sponsor for the duration of my visit. Furthermore, I would like to thank Dr. Chris Robinson, who very kindly made his office available as a working space during this period.
