Hi,

I need to create a plot (type = "h")  and then overlay a skewed-normal
curve on this distribution, but I'm not finding a procedure to accomplish
this. I want to use the plot function here in order to control the bin
distributions.

I have explored the sn library and found the dsn function.  dsn uses known
location, scaling and shape parameters associated with a given input vector
of probabilities.  However, how can I calculate the skewed-normal curve if
I don't know these parameters in advance?

Is there another function to calculate the skew-normal, perhaps in a
different package?


I'm working with R 2.13.2 on a windows based machine.
