`scipy.stats._probability_distribution:_ProbabilityDistribution.skewness`

source: /scipy/stats/_probability_distribution.py :617

Signature

def skewness ( self , * , method )

Summary

Skewness (standardized third moment)

Parameters

method : {None, 'formula', 'general', 'transform', 'normalize', 'cache'}: Method used to calculate the standardized third moment. Not all methods are available for all distributions. See moment for details.

Examples

Instantiate a distribution with the desired parameters:

from scipy import stats
X = stats.Normal(mu=1., sigma=2.)

✓

Evaluate the skewness:

X.skewness()
X.skewness() == X.moment(order=3, kind='standardized')
