Dear all,

I am working with S-Plus 6.2 Professional in Windows and would like to
try and fit a skew-normal distribution to my data. However, I can't seem
to find an appropriate function. I believe there is a library called sn
to help with such problems in R but I can't seem to locate something
similar for S-Plus. I was wondering whether anyone had any helpful tips
or experience of trying to fit skew-normal distributions in S-plus?

Many Thanks,

Jemma
