skew

Calculates the skewness of a numeric vector.
A positive value indicates right skew (long right tail), while a negative value
indicates left skew (long left tail). A zero value represents symmetry

Provides fundamental functions for descriptive statistics,
including MODE(), estimate_mode(), center_stats(), position_stats(), pct(),
spread_stats(), kurt(), skew(), and shape_stats(), which assist in
summarizing the center, spread, and shape of numeric data. For more details,
