# incrnanskewness

> Compute a [corrected sample skewness][sample-skewness] incrementally.

<section class="intro">

The [skewness][sample-skewness] for a random variable `X` is defined as

<!-- <equation class="equation" label="eq:skewness" align="center" raw="\operatorname{Skewness}[X] = \mathrm{E}\biggl[ \biggl( \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma} \biggr)^3 \biggr]" alt="Equation for skewness."> -->

\mathop{\mathrm{Skewness}}[X] = \mathrm{E}\biggl[ \biggl( \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma} \biggr)^3 \biggr]
```

<!-- <div class="equation" align="center" data-raw-text="\operatorname{Skewness}[X] = \mathrm{E}\biggl[ \biggl( \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma} \biggr)^3 \biggr]" data-equation="eq:skewness">

<!-- </equation> -->

For a sample of `n` values, the [sample skewness][sample-skewness] is

<!-- <equation class="equation" label="eq:sample_skewness" align="center" raw="b_1 = \frac{m_3}{s^3} = \frac{\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=0}^{n-1} (x_i - \bar{x})^3}{\biggl( \frac{1}{n-1} \sum_{i=0}^{n-1} (x_i - \bar{x})^2 \biggr)^{3/2}}" alt="Equation for the sample skewness."> -->

```math
b_1 = \frac{m_3}{s^3} = \frac{\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=0}^{n-1} (x_i - \bar{x})^3}{\biggl( \frac{1}{n-1} \sum_{i=0}^{n-1} (x_i - \bar{x})^2 \biggr)^{3/2}}
```

where `m_3` is the sample third central moment and `s` is the sample standard deviation.

An alternative definition for the [sample skewness][sample-skewness] which includes an adjustment factor (and is the implemented definition) is

## Usage

```javascript
var incrnanskewness = require( '@stdlib/stats/incr/skewness' );
```

#### incrnanskewness()

Returns an accumulator `function` which incrementally computes a [corrected sample skewness][sample-skewness].

```javascript
var accumulator = incrnanskewness();
```

#### accumulator( \[x] )

If provided an input value `x`, the accumulator function returns an updated [corrected sample skewness][sample-skewness]. If not provided an input value `x`, the accumulator function returns the current [corrected sample skewness][sample-skewness].

<!-- eslint-disable stdlib/doctest -->

```javascript
var accumulator = incrnanskewness();

var skewness = accumulator();
// returns null

skewness = accumulator(2.0);
// returns null

skewness = accumulator(-5.0);
// returns null

skewness = accumulator(-10.0);
// returns ~0.492

skewness = accumulator( NaN );
// returns ~0.492

skewness = accumulator();
// returns ~0.492
```

</section>

<!-- /.usage -->

<section class="notes">

## Notes

- Input values are **not** type checked. If non-numeric inputs are possible, you are advised to type check and handle accordingly **before** passing the value to the accumulator function.

- For long running accumulations or accumulations of large numbers, care should be taken to prevent overflow.

## Examples

<!-- eslint no-undef: "error" -->

<!-- eslint-disable stdlib/no-redeclare -->

```javascript
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random/base/randu' );
var incrnanskewness = require( '@stdlib/stats/incr/lib' );

var accumulator;
var skewness;
var v;
var i;

// Initialize an accumulator:
accumulator = incrnanskewness();

// For each simulated datum, update the skewness...
console.log('\nValue\tSkewness\n');
for (i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
if (randu() < 0.2) {
v = NaN;
} else {
v = randu() * 100.0;
}
skewness = accumulator(v);
console.log( '%d\t%s', v.toFixed(4), (skewness === null) ? 'NaN' : skewness.toFixed(4));
}
console.log('\nFinal skewness: %s\n', accumulator());
