Function rgsl::statistics::skew [] [src]

pub fn skew(data: &[f64], stride: usize, n: usize) -> f64

This function computes the skewness of data, a dataset of length n with stride stride. The skewness is defined as,

skew = (1/N) \sum ((x_i - \Hat\mu)/\Hat\sigma)3

where x_i are the elements of the dataset data. The skewness measures the asymmetry of the tails of a distribution.

The function computes the mean and estimated standard deviation of data via calls to gsl_stats_mean and gsl_stats_sd.
