SkewnessAzimuthCoefficient: Calculation of the skewness coefficient of the azimuths

Description

This function calculates the skewness coefficient from a set of input azimuths.

Usage

SkewnessAzimuthCoefficient(azimuths)

Arguments

azimuths

Vector containing the values of the azimuths

Value

• The value skewness coefficient of all input azimuths.

Details

One way to obtain a set of azimuths from X and Y coordinates of the vectors is to use the LoadData function.
