A brief recollection of the history of the two-piece normal distribution discovery: 119 years from the first publication of Gustav Fechner original work until its latest re-discovery.
To find more about the two-piece normal including its definition, visualisation, random sample generation, and Python library see my next post.
If you are interested in reading more about the history I recommend:
