| Abstract: | The paper considers some properties of measures of asymmetry and peakedness of one dimensional distributions. It points to
some misconceptions of the first and the second Pearson coefficients, the measures of asymetry and shape, that frequently
occur in introductory textbooks. Also it presents different ways for obtaining the estimated values for the coefficients of
skewness and kurtosis and statistical tests which include them. |
