`scipy.stats._mstats_basic:moment`

source: /scipy/stats/_mstats_basic.py :2673

Signature

def moment ( a , moment = 1 , axis = 0 )

Summary

Calculates the nth moment about the mean for a sample.

Parameters

a : array_like: data
moment : int, optional: order of central moment that is returned
axis : int or None, optional: Axis along which the central moment is computed. Default is 0. If None, compute over the whole array a.

Returns

n-th central moment : ndarray or float: The appropriate moment along the given axis or over all values if axis is None. The denominator for the moment calculation is the number of observations, no degrees of freedom correction is done.
