MEASUREMENTS OF ASYMMETRY AND AIMING

Called shape measures since they allow us to compare the shape of these graphic representations.

Targeting

It is said measure of the degree of acuty of a normal distribuition, that is, measures with a diferent relationship to the distribution.

AIMING MEASUREMENT

it is denoted by:

g2

Thet are those that analyze whether a frequency distribution is more pointed or less when comparing it as normal distribution, thah is, with the same measurement and variance.

ASYMMETRY

It is this measuere of the shape of a distribution n
that allows us to describe the data in which it tends to identify characteristics of the data distribution.

Asymmetry measures

To measure the asymmetry of a distribution, diferent coeficients are used, in which the so- called asymmetry coeficient can be obtained.

It is denoted by g1

It is defined as a central moment of order 3 and standard deviation cubed.

characteristics of asymmetry

The values of the variables are more frenquent, that is, they are higher, and if the distributions has a tail to the left, this asymmetry is negative.

When the most common vallues of the distribution has a tail to the left, his asymmetry is negative.
