+ * Computes the skewness of the available values.

+ * We use the following (unbiased) formula to define skewness:</p>
+ * <p>
+ * skewness = [n / (n -1) (n - 2)] sum[(x_i - mean)^3] / std^3 </p>
+ * <p>
+ * where n is the number of values, mean is the {@link Mean} and std is the
+ * {@link StandardDeviation} </p>
+ * <p>
+ * Note that this statistic is undefined for n < 3. <code>Double.Nan</code>
+ * is returned when there is not sufficient data to compute the statistic.
+ * Double.NaN may also be returned if the input includes NaN and / or
+ * infinite values.</p>
+ * <p>
+ * <strong>Note that this implementation is not synchronized.</strong> If
+ * multiple threads access an instance of this class concurrently, and at least
+ * one of the threads invokes the <code>increment()</code> or
