ssSkewness¶
Purpose¶
Compute the sample skewness.
Format¶
-
g =
ssSkewness(x[, bias])¶ - Parameters
x (Vector) – Nx1, sample data.
bias (Scalar) – Optional argument. Indicator for bias correction. If anything other than 0, bias correction is used. Default = 0.
- Returns
g (Scalar) – Sample skewness.
Examples¶
// Generate random vector of residuals
rndseed 929212;
resid = rndn(150, 1);
// Compute sample skewness
g = ssSkewness(resid);
The code above results in the following:
g = 0.3049
