Histograms can suggest skewness, but it is only the calculation of skewness that is definitive for skewness. It is a tautology; skewness(of distribution)=skewness(calculated). | |
| Jan 31, 2017 at 8:05 | comment | added | IWS | I'm certainly not disagreeing with you, but wouldn't the best way of seeing and describing skew be to just look at the distribution? i.e. make a histogram of the data? | |
