/// <summary>
/// SKEW: Distribution Asymmetry Measure
/// A statistical measure that quantifies the asymmetry of a probability distribution
/// around its mean. Skewness indicates whether deviations from the mean are more
/// likely in one direction than the other.
/// </summary>
/// <remarks>
/// The Skew calculation process:
/// 1. Calculates mean of the data
/// 2. Computes deviations from mean
/// 3. Calculates third moment (cubed deviations)
/// 4. Normalizes by standard deviation cubed
///
/// Key characteristics:
/// - Measures distribution asymmetry
/// - Positive values indicate right skew
/// - Negative values indicate left skew
/// - Zero indicates symmetry
/// - Scale-independent measure
///
/// Formula:
/// skew = [√(n(n-1))/(n-2)] * [m₃/s³]
/// where:
/// m₃ = third moment about the mean
/// s = standard deviation
/// n = sample size
///
/// Market Applications:
/// - Risk assessment in returns
/// - Options pricing models
/// - Trading strategy development
/// - Portfolio risk management
/// - Market sentiment analysis
///
/// Sources:
///     Fisher-Pearson standardized moment coefficient
///     https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skewness
///     "The Analysis of Financial Time Series" - Ruey S. Tsay
///
/// Note: Requires minimum of 3 data points for calculation
/// </remarks>
