moment
non central moments of all orders
Syntax
mom=moment(x,ord) mom=moment(x,ord,'r') or mom=moment(x,ord,1) mom=moment(x,ord,'c') or mom=moment(x,ord,2)
Arguments
- x
- real or complex vector or matrix 
- ord
- positive integer 
Description
moment(x,ord) is the non central moment or order ord
            of the elements of x.
If a third  argument of  type string  'r'  (or 1) or 'c' (or 2) is used,   we get in  the
            first  case,  a  row  vector   mom   such  that
            mom(j) contains  the  non  central  moment of  order
            ord of     the    j     column    of  x.
            moment(x,ord,'c') is used in   the same way  for the
            non central moments in the rows.
Examples
x=[0.2113249 0.0002211 0.6653811;0.7560439 0.3303271 0.6283918] mom=moment(x,3) mom=moment(x,2,'r') mom=moment(x,3,'c')
