Skewness is asymmetry in a statistical distribution, in which the curve appears distorted or skewed either to the left or to the right. Skewness can be quantified to define the extent to which a distribution differs from a normal distribution. In a normal distribution, the graph appears as a classical, symmetrical bell-shaped curve.. The mean, or average, and the mode, or maximum point on the curve, are equal.
Introduction. Infection with the herpes simplex virus, commonly known as herpes, can be due to either herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) or herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2). HSV-1 is mainly transmitted by oral to oral contact. HSV-2 is a sexually transmitted infection that can cause painful genital ulcer disease. The herpes simplex virus, or herpes, is categorized into two types: herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) and herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2). 2  HSV-1 is mainly transmitted by oral to oral contact, and causes orolabial herpes / herpes labialis or âcold soresâ, and can also cause genital herpes.
Herpes gladiatorum (mat herpes) is a skin infection caused by herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), the same virus that causes cold sores on the lips.HSV-1 infections are very common. In the United States, 30% to 90% of people are exposed to herpes by adulthood, although many people never develop symptoms.While herpes gladiatorum (HSV-1) can be treated, once infected with the virus, a person is infected for life. If you suspect you have HSV-1 infection, inform your coach immediately -- early identification and treatment of skin infections is important for your health and the health of your teammates and opponents. 2  Some cases of herpes are mild and may not need treatment.
