Summary on random data with zero skew and some kurtosis
...misunderstood....
At first select a distribution, which
a) has zero skewness
b) a well defined and preferably easy to calculate kurtosis.
After that, choose the parameters of the distribution, so that the
theoretical value of the kurtosis is equal to the value you want to
get.
At last generate renadom numbers for that distribution with the now
given parameters.
