Kurtosis and Skew
-----------------
Figure 3.6.

An example of distributions with different skewness
:math:`\Sigma` (top panel) and kurtosis K (bottom panel). The modified
Gaussian in the upper panel is a normal distribution multiplied by a
Gram-Charlier series (see eq. 4.70), with a0 = 2, a1 = 1, and a2 = 0.5.
The log-normal has :math:`\sigma = 1.2`.
