[R] Weighted skewness and curtosis

[Bert Gunter]

rep() **does** do it essentially in C !!

See also the "moments" package, which I found instantly by googling
"sample moments in R", though I don't know whether it does what you
want (but probably shouldn't do).

Of course, sample skewness and kurtosis are basically useless, but
that's another, off topic, issue.


Cheers,
Bert
