Definitions:

Skewed

A distribution that is not symmetrical around its central value, indicating that the data points tend to be more spread out on one side of the scale.

Student t

A distribution that is used in hypothesis testing, especially for small sample sizes, when the population standard deviation is unknown.

χ

This commonly represents the Greek letter chi, which can denote a variable, statistic, or characteristic in various scientific fields. Without further context, a specific definition cannot be provided.

Negative Values

Numbers that are less than zero, often representing a deficit or decrease in mathematical calculations or data sets.
