skewness

property AssetList.skewness

Compute expanding skewness of the return time series for each asset returns.

Skewness is a measure of the asymmetry of the probability distribution of a real-valued random variable about its mean. The skewness value can be positive, zero, negative, or undefined.

For normally distributed returns, the skewness should be about zero. A skewness value greater than zero means that there is more weight in the right tail of the distribution.

Returns:

Dataframe

Expanding skewness time series for each asset.
