## Description
> Description of the issue.
Encountered a potential bug when using the incremental accumulators for skewness and kurtosis. Notably, when providing all equal values, the accumulators return `NaN`. However, for uniformly distributed values, the skewness is `0`.
## Related Issues
> Does this issue have any related issues?
No related issues in this repository. However, Pandas seems to have encountered a similar issue: https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/issues/18044.
## Questions

#### Reproduction
> What steps are required to reproduce the unexpected output?
In order to reproduce this bug, do the following:
```javascript
var incrskewness = require( '@stdlib/stats/incr/skewness' );
var acc = incrskewnesss();
for ( var i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
acc( 10.0 );
}
console.log( acc() );
// => NaN
```
#### Expected Results
> What are the expected results?
The following results are expected:
```text
0
```
#### Actual Results
> What are the actual results?
The following are the actual results:
```text
NaN
```
#### Environments
> What environments are affected (e.g., `Node v0.4.x`, `Chrome`, `IE 11`)? If Node.js, include the `npm` version, operating system, and any other potentially relevant platform information.
All environments are affected.
