SUMMARY
The Johnson distribution, a family of probability distributions, is derived from the transformation of a normal distribution. It is defined by three parameters: location, scale, and shape. The derivation involves the use of the inverse of the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the normal distribution. For further understanding, resources such as "Statistical Distributions" by Evans et al. provide detailed explanations and formulas related to the Johnson distribution.
