A note on the infinite divisibility of a class of transformations of normal variables

Abstract

This note examines the infinite divisibility of density-based transformations of normal random variables. We characterize a class of density-based transformations of normal variables which produces non-infinitely divisible distributions. We relate our result with some known skewing mechanisms.
