Description
A skewness index based on average-median (SIAM) is defined for evaluation of skewness in relation to normal distribution. The SIAM is derived from Pearsonβs coefficient of skewness 2:
- Pearson 2 coefficient = 3 Β· (average-median)/SD
The skewness index SIAM introduces the absolute value of the arithmetic mean, x = ABS(average + median)/2, for normalization:
- SIAM = (average-median)/(x + SD)
- SIAM = (average-median)/[ABS(average+median)/2 + SD]
At the limit of a zero value of x, the SIAM equals the Pearson 2 coefficient (without the multiplication factor of 3). At high x with small standard deviation (SD), the SIAM is effectively the difference between the average and the median normalized for x, (average-median)/x.
Abbreviation: SIAM, OI

- In DatLab analysis, the skewness index SIAM is used as an outlier index OI = SIAM.
