function m = moments(X,order)
|
|
|
|
% Returns the central sample moment of X specified by the positive integer order.
|
|
|
|
%
|
|
|
|
% Note that the cross moments are only computed if order=2, in this case the
|
|
|
|
% output is a matrix.

%
|
|
|
|
% INPUTS
|
|
|
|
% X [double] T*n matrix, where T is the number of observations and n the number of variables.
|
|
|
|
% order [integer] scalar.
|
|
|

%
|
|
|
|
% OUTPUTS
|
|
|
|
% m [double] n*n matrix or n*1 vector of centered moments.
