Description: Provides functions and examples for the weak and strong
        density asymmetry measures in the articles: "A measure of
        asymmetry", Patil, Patil and Bagkavos (2012)
        <doi:10.1007/s00362-011-0401-6> and "A measure of asymmetry
        based on a new necessary and sufficient condition for
        symmetry", Patil, Bagkavos and Wood (2014)
        <doi:10.1007/s13171-013-0034-z>. The measures provided here are
        useful for quantifying the asymmetry of the shape of a density
        of a random variable. The package facilitates implementation of
        the measures which are applicable in a variety of fields
        including e.g. probability theory, statistics and economics.
