in reply to Re^5: Skew normally distributed random numbers
in thread Skew normally distributed random numbers

but... :)

Most of the examples of skewed normal distributions I can find seem to show the same range, but with the peak (median?) offset to one side or the other. rather than the whole range translated sideways?

Admittedly, most of the axis on the example curves aren't labelled, so it is hard to tell whether the range remains constant.

Examine what is said, not who speaks.

    I think you are right. He never said he wanted a normal distribution in the output. He said he wanted to skew the normal distribution he already had.
