Estimates skewness of a thermal performance curve
Details
Skewness is calculated from the values of activation energy (e) and deactivation energy (eh) as: skewness = e - eh. A negative skewness indicates the TPC is left skewed, the drop after the optimum is steeper than the rise up to the optimum. A positive skewness means that the TPC is right skewed and a value of 0 would mean the curve is symmetrical around the optimum.
