raw2central {moments}R Documentation

Raw to central moments

Description

This function transforms a vector, matrix or data frame of raw moments to a vector, matrix or data frame of central moments.

Usage

raw2central(mu.raw)

Arguments

mu.raw

A numeric vector, matrix or data frame of raw moments. For a vector, mu.raw[0] is the order 0 raw moment, mu.raw[1] is the order 1 raw moment and so forth. For a matrix or data frame, row vector mu.raw[0,] contains the order 0 raw moments, row vector mu.raw[1,] contains the order 1 raw moments and so forth.

Value

A vector matrix or data frame of central moments. For matrices and data frame, column vectors correspond to different random variables.
