SKEW

Name

SKEW —
SKEW(n1, n2, ...)

Description

SKEW returns an unbiased estimate for skewness of a distribution.

Note, that this is only meaningful is the underlying distribution really has a third moment. The skewness of a symmetric (e.g., normal) distribution is zero.

Strings and empty cells are simply ignored.

If less than three numbers are given, SKEW returns #DIV/0! error.
