Skewed distributions are interesting. Then, I will make the used PDF function a changeable parameter for future developments. As of now, it is hard-coded to scipy.stats.norm.pdf. In the future, we can dynamically change it to any PDF supported by scipy. There are dozens of continuous distributions supporting the .pdf method: https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/stats.html#continuous-distributions
We can basically use any of them. We just need to keep in mind that they don't come with the same function signature, but I think we can limit ourselves to maybe 3 or 4 PDFs.
