Skew-t distribution

I was reading through the development workflow page, and it said if I was trying to add any new functions I should email this mailing list. Link to PR: https://github.com/scipy/scipy/pull/18948 Link to issue: https://github.com/scipy/scipy/issues/18947 Motivation for new distribution: The Jones and Faddy skew-t distribution provides a good fit to heavy tailed and skewed data. It has several applications, and is a relatively tractable distribution which makes it quite easy to use. Please let me know if there is anything else I need to do - this is the first time I've tried to contribute! Many thanks John

+1, it seems like it would be a good addition. On Mon, Jul 24, 2023 at 2:28 AM JohnWT <johntownhill@gmail.com> wrote:

Thanks for the proposal John. This looks like a good fit, and the paper on this distribution easily has enough citations to show that it's of interest.

I think you've done it all - you've gotten multiple thumbs-up's, and your PR already seems to be in pretty good shape. So getting that merged is all that's left to do here I think. Cheers, Ralf
