{skewness(sin(0:PI:.01))} -0.49395
{skewness(cos(0:PI:.01))} -0.000714476
{skewness((0:10:.01)^2)} 0.638455
Curve Math Vectors
x = c1.x

y = skewness(c1.x)

Comments

If the skewness is zero, the probability curve for a distribution is symmetric about the midpoint of the distribution.

If the skewness is less than zero, the probability curve for a distribution is concentrated to the left of the midpoint of the distribution.

If the skewness is greater than zero, the probability curve for a distribution is concentrated to the right of the midpoint of the distribution.
