Vibrations of Mechanical Systems
Skewness is a statistical measure that describes the asymmetry of a probability distribution around its mean. A positive skew indicates that the tail on the right side is longer or fatter than the left, while a negative skew means the opposite. Understanding skewness is crucial in analyzing vibration data because it helps identify deviations from normal behavior, which can indicate underlying issues in mechanical systems.
congrats on reading the definition of skewness. now let's actually learn it.
