#' 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 ('left-skewed'): the left tail is longer; the mass of the distribution is concentrated on the right of a histogram. When positive ('right-skewed'): the right tail is longer; the mass of the distribution is concentrated on the left of a histogram. A normal distribution has a skewness of 0.
#' @param x a vector of values, a [matrix] or a [data.frame]
#' @param na.rm a [logical] value indicating whether `NA` values should be stripped before the computation proceeds
#' @seealso [kurtosis()]
