Skewness (Copied from the deprecated R-package modes)
Description
Computes skewness.
Usage
skewness(x, finite = TRUE)
Arguments
x
Data vector.
finite
Should the finite sample size correction be applied? Defaults to TRUE.
Details
Due to discontinuation from CRAN (Package ‘modes’ was removed from the CRAN repository; Archived on 2020-03-03 as check
problems were not corrected despite reminders), we have copied the required functions into UMtools to ease installation (and slightly modified).
The original documentation states the following: "This function calculates the skewness of a data with optional bias correction.
The skewness is a measure of the symmetry of a distrbution. A negative skewness means the data is left skewed or has a fat left tail.
The converse is true for a positive skew".
Value
Skewness (numeric)
Examples
data <- c(rnorm(15, 0, 1), rnorm(21, 5, 1))
hist(data)
skewness(data, TRUE)
