\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[AMR:lifecycle]{lifecycle} of this function is \strong{questioning}. We are no longer convinced that this function is the optimal approach (but we do not know yet what a better approach would be), or whether this function should be in our \code{AMR} package at all.
