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{\link{matrix}} or a \code{\link{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.

The \link[=lifecycle]{lifecycle} of this function is \strong{questioning}. This function might be no longer be optimal approach, or is it questionable whether this function should be in this \code{AMR} package at all.
