The paper contains some results on model selection in conditional independence graphs when the variables have an extended Skew Normal distribution. This family is a slight modification of the Skew Normal one, that extends the class of Normal distributions through the addition of a shape parameter that regulates the skewness. A test based on a Wald-type statistic for a single edge exclusion/inclusion is proposed. Its performances, in finite samples, are assessed through numerical experiments.
