Why doesn’t Johnson-SU distribution give positive skewness in scipy.stats?

The code below maps the statistical moments (mean, variance, skewness, excess kurtosis) generated by corresponding parameters (a, b, loc, scale) of the Johnson-SU distribution (johnsonsu). For the range of loop values specified in my code below, no parameter configuration results in positive skewness, only negative skewness, even though it should be possible to parameterize the Johnson-SU distribution to be positively-skewed.

Improving image deskew using Python and OpenCV

The code I’ve produce to detect and correct skew is giving me inconsistent results. I’m currently working on a project which utilizes OCR text extraction on images (via Python and OpenCV), so removing skew is key if accurate results are desired. My code uses cv2.minAreaRect to detect skew. The images I’m using are all identical (and will be in the
