Um, perplexed. When describing a graph should one talk about its skewness or its skewedness?

[broguemum]

I've been pondering this one for a while and I think I should be talking about skewedness rather than skewness. Am I right? Any input greatly appreciated.

Where are my manners? I should also say hello as this is my first post on these particular boards although I am a regular lurker. I am a regular poster elsewhere though.

Isn't it just "its skew?"

'Skew' I think.

Just skew (am maths teacher, definitely correct)

skewness is also acceptable

not skewedness though

OK, here it is. My sentence:

Other measures, helping to better understand the nature of implied risks, are used by market practitioners and include, for example, duration and convexity for fixed income portfolios; dispersion of risk, skewness / skew and kurtosis are also measured.

I think it might be skewness actually. Too early for this - brain hurts.

Cross posted with you all! Thanks a million. I was staring at it for so long my mind decided to switch off. Work does that to me sometimes.

Just noticed all my extra commas....

What if it's 'skewiff'?
