17 ## usage: moment (x, p [, opt]) |
|
18 ## |
|
19 ## Computes the p-th moment of x if it is a vector; if x is a matrix, |
|
20 ## return the row vector of the p-th moment of each column. |
|
21 ## |
|
22 ## With the optional string opt, the kind of moment to be computed can |
|
23 ## be specified. If opt contains `c' or `a', central and/or absolute |
|
24 ## moments are returned. I.e., `moment(x, 3, "ac")' computes the third |
|
25 ## central absolute moment of x. |
|
26 |
|
27 ## Can easily be made to work for continuous distributions (using quad) |
|
28 ## as well, but how does the general case work? |
