Skew: Estimate Skewness

In zrmacc/SimTools: Utilities for Simulation Studies

Description

Estimates the skewness of a distribution using a vector of observations.

Usage

Skew(y, s0 = 0, sig = 0.05, simple = F)

Arguments

y	Observations.
s0	Reference skewness.
sig	Significance level.
simple	If TRUE, returns estimated size and SE only.

Value

Matrix containing the estimated skewness, its standard error, the lower and upper confidence bounds, and a p value assessing the null hypothesis that the skewness is s0.

Examples

## Not run: 
# Exponential sample
y = rexp(n=1e3);
# Test skewness = 2
Skew(y=y,s0=2);

## End(Not run)
