\usage{
skewness(x, na.rm = FALSE)

\method{skewness}{default}(x, na.rm = FALSE)

\method{skewness}{matrix}(x, na.rm = FALSE)

\method{skewness}{data.frame}(x, na.rm = FALSE)
}
\arguments{
\item{x}{a vector of values, a \code{matrix} or a \code{data frame}}

\item{na.rm}{a logical value indicating whether \code{NA} values should be stripped before the computation proceeds.}
}
\description{
Skewness is a measure of the asymmetry of the probability distribution of a real-valued random variable about its mean.

When negative: the left tail is longer; the mass of the distribution is concentrated on the right of the figure. When positive: the right tail is longer; the mass of the distribution is concentrated on the left of the figure.
