Abstract: Classic examples of modeling employ first and second order statistics; however, recent literature has shown that including third order statistics, namely skew, may improve the accuracy of statistical models. We present a binary classifier which includes skew in order to make predictions more precise. This binary classifier adds skew in two very distinct ways.
