/**
* Returns an accumulator function which incrementally computes a corrected sample skewness.
*
* ## Method
*
* The algorithm computes the corrected sample skewness using the formula for `G_1` in [Joanes and Gill 1998][@joanes:1998].
*

* skewness = accumulator( 2.0 );
* // returns null
*
* skewness = accumulator( -5.0 );

* skewness = accumulator( -10.0 );
* // returns ~0.492
