Looking through the functions in workspace 1 STAT I noticed that stat∆skewness calls stat∆pearson with no argument (under line label "four"):

∇skewness←stat∆pearson vector;mm;md;sd

  ⍝ Function returns the Pearson coefficient of skewness

  mn←stat∆mean vector←,vector

  md←stat∆median vector

  sd←stat∆sampleSD vector

  skewness←(3×mn-md)÷sd

∇

∇ skew←type stat∆skewness vector;n;var;sq

  ⍝ Function returns a measure of skewness

  ⍎(0=⎕nc 'type')/'type←1'

  type←4⌊type

  n←stat∆count vector

  var←vector - stat∆mean vector

  skew←(n*.5)×(+/var*3)÷(+/var*2)*3÷2

  →(one,two,three,four)[type]

one:

  →end

two:

  ⎕es (n<3)/'At least three observations are required.'

  skew←skew ×  ((n × ( n -1))*.5)÷n - 2

  →end

three:

  skew←skew×(1-1÷n)*3÷2

  →end

four:

  skew←stat∆pearson

  →end

end:
