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.
A significance statement is not available in the OpenAlex record.
A contribution statement is not available in the OpenAlex record.
Method details are not available in the OpenAlex metadata.
Findings are not separately available in the OpenAlex metadata.
Limitations are not available in the OpenAlex metadata.
Application details are not available in the OpenAlex metadata.
