skew

Calculates skewness of the values of a numeric vector. This uses the same definition of skewness as
the "skewness()" function in the "e1071" package where <code>type == 2</code>, which is equivalent to the definition of skewness used in Excel.

A comprehensive high-level package, for composite indicator construction and analysis. It is a "development environment"
for composite indicators and scoreboards, which includes utilities for construction (indicator selection, denomination, imputation,
data treatment, normalisation, weighting and aggregation) and analysis (multivariate analysis, correlation plotting, short cuts for
principal component analysis, global sensitivity analysis, and more). A composite indicator is completely encapsulated inside a single
hierarchical list called a "coin". This allows a fast and efficient work flow, as well as making quick copies, testing methodological variations and making comparisons.
It also includes many plotting options, both statistical (scatter plots, distribution plots) as well as for presenting results.
