“…Non-Normal Bivariate Distributions with Normal Marginals CHARLES J. KOWALSKI* Examples of non-normal bivariate (multivariate) distributions with normal marginals [15,16,18] can be used in the classroom to (a) contrast the correlation/ regression structures of these distributions with that of the corresponding bivariate normal model [9,10,11,12], (b) investigate the feasibility of employing coordinate transformations to normality as a prelude to analyses based on the assumption of joint normality [2,13,15,16,17,18,27] and (c) motivate the need for the development of multidimensional goodness-of-fit tests [2,13,16]. In addition, since most of the examples presented here are concerned with ways to generate distributions with arbitrary marginals, they can also be used to obtain a wide variety of non-normal bivariate (multivariate) distributions for these, and other, purposes [2,11,12,13].…”
