Skewness and Kurtosis
Skewness is the measure of the asymmetry of an ideally
symmetric probability distribution.
Skewness is the measure of how much the distribution
deviates from the normal distribution (Normal distribution
means MEAN=MEDIAN=MODE [for the time being])
Why is skewness important?
It helps us to
identify the
direction of
outliers.
Although, it will
not tell us about
number of
outliers.
Skewness values
should be zero
but even nearly
zero value is
manageable.
