        @brief Skewness estimation for weighted samples

        The skewness of a sample distribution is defined as the ratio of the 3rd central moment and the \f$ 3/2 \f$-th power $
        of the 2nd central moment (the variance) of the samples. The skewness can also be expressed by the simple moments:

        \f[
            \hat{g}_1 =
                \frac
                {\widehat{m}_n^{(3)}-3\widehat{m}_n^{(2)}\hat{\mu}_n+2\hat{\mu}_n^3}
                {\left(\widehat{m}_n^{(2)} - \hat{\mu}_n^{2}\right)^{3/2}}
        \f]

        where \f$ \widehat{m}_n^{(i)} \f$ are the \f$ i \f$-th moment and \f$ \hat{\mu}_n \f$ the mean (first moment) of the
        \f$ n \f$ samples.

        The skewness estimator for weighted samples is formally identical to the estimator for unweighted samples, except that
        the weighted counterparts of all measures it depends on are to be taken.
