German term or phrase: asymmetrische Werteverteilung

"Im Gegensatz zur Gauss’schen Normalverteilung kann über die von Wallodi Weibull 1937 entwickelte Statistik die ***asymmetrische Werteverteilung*** wie sie z. B. bei der Messung der Festigkeit von Keramik auftritt, gut beschrieben werden. Mit einem Weibull-Modell kann der Zusammenhang zwischen Größe, Geometrie, Belastungsart, statistischer Fehlerverteilung in den Volumen- bzw. Oberflächenelementen und der Bruchwahrscheinlichkeit geschaffen werden."

Dealing with ceramic strength testing, but there's a crossover here into statistics. The "obvious" translation of "asymmetrische Werteverteilung" is "asymmetrical value distribution", but this phrase gets no search engine hits, and nor does "asymmetrical value spread". Are there any maths experts here who know what the correct phrase might be? TIA for your assistance.

Grading comment

Thanks Edith and the peer graders. I'll go with "asymmetric distribution of values", then. "Weibull distribution" is OK, but sounds a little clumsy in this sentence and besides, from the link Mario provided, Weibull distributions may not always be asymmetrical. They seem to vary and be very flexible. Anyway, thanks once again for your assistance.
