Skewness & Kurtosis Simplified
<h1>What is Skewness and how do we detect it?</h1>
<p><em>If you will ask Mother Nature — What is her favorite probability distribution?</em></p>
<p>The answer will be — ‘Normal’ and the reason behind it is the existence of chance/random causes that influence every known variable on earth. What if a process is under the influence of assignable/significant causes as well? This is surely going to modify the shape of the distribution (distort) and that’s when we need a measure like skewness to capture it. Below is a normal distribution visual, also known as a bell curve. It is a symmetrical graph with all measures of central tendency in the middle.</p>
