ASYMMETRY MEASURES

ASYMMETRY MEASURES

1. CLASSIFICATION

   • The more asymmetry the distribution, the further away the three values will be (mean, median and mode)
     • There are three types of asymmetry
       • Positive asymmetrical
       • Symmetrical (perfect distribution)
       • Negative asymmetrical

2. FEATURES

   • The degree of asymmetry is another of the characteristics with which a set of values can be measured.
     • They are indicators that allow us to know how symmetrical or asymmetric is the distribution of the probability of a variable without the need to graphically represent the data.
