Understanding Mardia’s Coefficient of Skewness ===================================================== Mardia’s coefficient of skewness is a measure used to assess the symmetry of multivariate distributions. In this article, we will delve into how to calculate and store the Mardia’s coefficients in a vector when dividing data into multiple parts. Background on Multivariate Skewness Skewness is a statistical concept that describes the asymmetry of a distribution. In univariate distributions, skewness can be calculated using the formula: $S = \frac{E(X^3) - (E(X))^3}{\sigma^3}$ where $X$ is the random variable, $\mu$ is its mean, and $\sigma$ is its standard deviation.
