/// The skew normal distribution is a generalization of the
/// [`Normal`] distribution to allow for non-zero skewness.
///
/// It has the density function, for `scale > 0`,
/// `f(x) = 2 / scale * phi((x - location) / scale) * Phi(alpha * (x - location) / scale)`
/// where `phi` and `Phi` are the density and distribution of a standard normal variable.
///
/// # Example
///
/// ```
/// use rand_distr::{SkewNormal, Distribution};
///
/// // location 2, scale 3, shape 1
/// let skew_normal = SkewNormal::new(2.0, 3.0, 1.0).unwrap();
/// let v = skew_normal.sample(&mut rand::thread_rng());
/// println!("{} is from a SN(2, 3, 1) distribution", v)
