Skewness:

• Skewness is the measure of the symmetry.
• Skewness is zero for a symmetrical data set(LHS=RHS).
• R package : moments
• R Function : skewness(x)
• x– Data Frame

Kurtosis:

• Kurtosis is a measure of whether the data are heavy-tailed or light-tailed relative to a normal distribution
• A positive value tells you that you have heavy-tails (i.e. a lot of data in your tails).
• A negative value means that you have light-tails (i.e. little data in your tails).
• R package : moments
• R Function : kurtosis(x)
• x–Data Frame
