mroeschke opened a new issue, #45733: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/45733
### Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform. ```python >>> import pyarrow as pa >>> import pyarrow.compute as pc >>> import pandas as pd, numpy as np >>> pd.Series(np.array([1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 40.0, np.nan])).skew(skipna=True) np.float64(1.988947740397821) >>> pc.skew(pa.array([1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 40.0, None]), skip_nulls=True) <pyarrow.DoubleScalar: 1.14831951332278> ``` If `skew` is always calculating the unbiased skew, with pyarrow's value being lower than pandas's value it appears pyarrow might be counting `None` as an observation while pandas is not considering it's missing value as an observation. cc @pitrou xref https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/45677 ### Component(s) Python -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
