Property Value
Type:
BooleanAlways returns
, indicating that it should not be assumed that
the distribution is symmetrical.
The purpose of this property is to allow calculations to be simplified when a probability distribution
is symmetrical around the mean. A value of always indicates that the distribution
is symmetrical. A value of , however, only indicates that the assumption
of symmetry should not be made. It does not indicate that the distribution is necessarily skewed.
For example, the cost of verifying symmetry may be greater than the gains from the simplified calculations.
By default, a distribution is not assumed to be symmetrical.
