Skewness

Skewness[data] gives the coefficient of skewness estimate for the elements in data.

  • Skewness[dist] gives the coefficient of skewness for the distribution dist.

Examples

Skewness of data:

Skewness[{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10}]

Skewness of a distribution:

Skewness[NormalDistribution[0, 1]]
(* 0 *)

Positively skewed distribution:

Skewness[ExponentialDistribution[1]]
(* 2 *)
