Abstract

moments2 calculates various measures of skewness and kurtosis. Based on Nicholas Cox's moments, it also calculates mean and standard deviation for a list of variables. moments2 differs from moments only in allowing different measures of skewness and kurtosis and making the measures used in SAS and SPSS the default.
