Hi! How can I add skewness to a normal distribution code in matlab and in the plot in matlab?

If you have the Statistics Toolbox, I suggest you call on the 'pearsrnd' function. You can set the desired skewness value. See the website:

Hi! thanks for the answer! But, what if I just want to add the kurtosis to a code I already have for normal distribution? I am trying to fit my data into a skewed normal distribution. I already did it for normal distribution (already have the code for this) and I just need to readjust that code and add the kurtosis so it can be skewed..

I appreciate your help!!
