Towards to test asymmetry

After my successfully * replication * of the Jarque-Bera critical values as they are presented in Literature, I felt that something could be performed about to see how the parameters could be got by NO-Parametric procedures, specifically in what concerns SKEWNESS, S.
Suppose that I *gauge* S by means of U such that
____ U = sqrt ( A*A + B*B)
where
____ A = (Q.80 - Q.50) / (Q.50 - Q.20)
____ B = (Q.90 - Q.50) / (Q.50 - Q.10)
notation
____ Q.z is such that F(X) = .z, the fractil of the Distribution under test.

___Lemma
___ if dF/dx is a symmetrical probability with median = 0, then the U = sqrt(2) =1.4142…

Some mathematical expectation values , E(U), from a symmetrical distribution X~N(0,1):n
_____n______E(U)______differences
____20_____1.811______
____30_____1.664______(0.147)
____40_____1.596______(0.068)
____50_____1.560______(0.036)
____60_____1.554______(0.026)
____70_____1.513______(0.021)

the number of simulations was not very large (40´000). In consequence the relative error 0.5% leads to retain only two decimal places: 1.81, 1.66, 1.60, 1.56, 1.55, 1.51.
Personal computers are not sufficiently fast to attain accurate values: data ordering (by brute force) is very time consumer.
However in accordance with my values the asymptotic value 1.41 seems to be perfectly attainable.

Adumbo, you forgot to post your stupid code. Or are you afraid we'll find more of your great coding examples like

*********
the sample standard deviation can be calculated by Sumsq(Xi)/n rather than Sumsq(Xi-xbar)/(n-1).

My response

YOU ARE UNABLE TO SAY WHATEVER
CONSISTENT, Jack Tomsky, against your oponent, * only * R. A. Fisher,
that said , not using the SWING, SWING,
SHRINK, you are so fertile , DIRECTLY AND CLEARLY (firstly because it
was a MAN, not a WORM, secondly he was a scieniist not a
UNIVERSITY CLERK) that the Null Hypotheses
cannot be accepted but only failed to be
rejected.
I obtained this statement from a Reader
from which, contrarily to you a notorious LIAR, I have no reason not
to trust him.
TO THE FIGHT : Jack Tomsky went to the Hospital in order doctors find
how many
bones he have yet not broken.

Another (candidate) to Test Statistics

Given the samples X~ N(0, 1) : n
Retaining the Quantiles:
____A = (Q.80 - Q.50) / (Q.20 - Q.50)
____B = (Q.90 - Q.50) / (Q.10 -Q.50)
now the test statistics
____QW = | A / B|

___F(QW) = u________D.F.__________

___________n = 20__________________
__u_____0.05___0.95___ 0.025___0.975_
_QW___ 0.488__1.791__ 0.419___2.080__
___________n = 100________________
__ u_____0.05___0.95___0.025___0.975_
__QW___0.742__1.316__0.702___1.393__

These last values are somewhat interesting because
_____R = (1.316 - 0.742 ) / (1.393 - 0.702) =
______ = 0.831
is practically the ratio 1.645 / 1.960 = 0.839 of the semi-amplitude of the corresponding * central * intervals of the Normal Distribution Function. Is this fact a symptom that QW has asymptotically a normal shape? Even for not too large sample sizes note that R(n=20) = 0.784.
(Those that claim Monte Carlo worthless was much better to them to be quiet).
