Line 237:
The numerically stable mean and variance computation works, but attempting something similar for skewness and kurtosis using the incremental moments computation code in the later section seems to fail. Is something missing in it ? Are there any reference implementations ? [[User:Shyamal|Shyamal]] ([[User talk:Shyamal|talk]]) 16:17, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
:I've implemented the Terriberry moment-based method for skewness and kurtosis in the incremental case (i.e. B={x}) and it worked fine. [[User:Markjamesabraham|Markjamesabraham]] ([[User talk:Markjamesabraham|talk]]) 22:36, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
