public class Skewness extends AbstractStorelessUnivariateStatistic implements Serializable
We use the following (unbiased) formula to define skewness:
skewness = [n / (n -1) (n - 2)] sum[(x_i - mean)^3] / std^3
where n is the number of values, mean is the Mean and std is the
StandardDeviation.
Note that this statistic is undefined for n < 3. Double.Nan
is returned when there is not sufficient data to compute the statistic.
Double.NaN may also be returned if the input includes NaN and / or
infinite values.
Note that this implementation is not synchronized. If
multiple threads access an instance of this class concurrently, and at least
one of the threads invokes the increment() or
clear() method, it must be synchronized externally.

Skewness()
Constructs a Skewness.

Copy constructor, creates a new
Skewness identical
to the original. |
Skewness(org.hipparchus.stat.descriptive.moment.ThirdMoment m3)
Constructs a Skewness with an external moment.

Clears the internal state of the Statistic

Returns a copy of the statistic with the same internal state.

Returns the Skewness of the entries in the specified portion of the
input array.
|

getN()
Returns the number of values that have been added.
|
double |
getResult()
Returns the value of the statistic based on the values that have been added.
|

Note that when Skewness(ThirdMoment) is used to
create a Skewness, this method does nothing. In that case, the
ThirdMoment should be incremented directly.
