Abstract
We propose several measures, functional and scalar, for asymmetry of distributions by comparing the behavior of probability densities to the right and left of the mode(s) and show how to generate classes of equivalent distributions from a given distribution, allowing for varying asymmetry but retaining some information theoretic properties of the original distribution, such as the entropy.
