| 41. | Use of L-moments in place of moments provides a measure of skewness known as the L-skewness.
|
| 42. | Use of L-moments in place of moments provides a measure of skewness known as the L-skewness.
|
| 43. | Therefore, a positive skewness value indicates that the peak is located to the left with respect to the mean.
|
| 44. | Other names for this measure are Galton's measure of skewness, the Yule Kendall index and the quartile skewness,
|
| 45. | Other names for this measure are Galton's measure of skewness, the Yule Kendall index and the quartile skewness,
|
| 46. | Historically, the third and fourth standardized moments ( skewness and kurtosis ) were some of the earliest tests for normality.
|
| 47. | However it is possible that the sample skewness is larger, and then \ alpha cannot be determined from these equations.
|
| 48. | Common measures of the shape of a distribution are skewness or kurtosis, while alternatives can be based on L-moments.
|
| 49. | The parameter ? equals the difference between the distribution s mean and mode and can be viewed as unnormed measure of skewness.
|
| 50. | So, an understanding of the skewness of the dataset indicates whether deviations from the mean are going to be positive or negative.
