#' Skewness of the sample
#'
#' @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.
#' @param x a vector of values, a \code{matrix} or a \code{data frame}
#' @param na.rm a logical value indicating whether \code{NA} values should be stripped before the computation proceeds.
