Skewness
Computes the skewness of the values of x.
If $N = length(x)$, then the skewness of $x$ is defined as
$$N^(-1) sd(x)^(-3) sum_i (x_i - mean(x))^3$$
Usage
skewness(x, na.rm=FALSE)Arguments
- x
- a numeric vector containing the values whose skewness is to be computed.
- na.rm
- a logical value indicating whether NA values should be stripped before the computation proceeds.
Value
- Returns the skewness of x.
Examples
x<-rnorm(100)
