Abstract: In many fields, the researchers are interested in making inferences about the ratio of skewnesses in two independent populations. In the present paper, the asymptotic distribution for the ratio of the sample skewnesses in two independent populations is established. Then the asymptotic distribution is used to derive the asymptotic confidence interval and to test the hypothesis for the ratio of population's skewnesses. Finally, the applicability of the proposed method is investigated through Monte Carlo simulations.
