[R] Simulate negative skewed, fat-tailed distribution

[Ravi Varadhan]

Take a look at the `rstable' function in the "stable" package to simulate
random deviates from a stable distribution.

Hi guys

Is there a way in R to simulate/generate random numbers from a negative
skewed and fat
tailed distribution ? I would like to simulate a set of (discrete) data.

Regards,

Carlos
