Does anyone know how to plot a skew normal distribution with scipy? I supose that stats.norm class can be used but I just can\'t figure out how. Furthermore, how can I esti

Answer 1

The accepted answer is more or less outdated, because a skewnorm function is now implemented in scipy. So the code can be written a lot shorter:

 from scipy.stats import skewnorm
 import numpy as np
 from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

 X = np.linspace(min(your_data), max(your_data))
 plt.plot(X, skewnorm.pdf(X, *skewnorm.fit(your_data))
