cmoment

Arguments

x

real or complex vector or matrix

ord

positive integer

Description

cmoment(x,ord) is the 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 central moment of order ord of the j column of x. cmoment(x,ord,'c') is used in the same way for the central moments in the rows.
