Double
The rth central moment of the sample.

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type IReadOnlyCollectionDouble. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter. For more information, see Extension Methods (Visual Basic) or Extension Methods (C# Programming Guide).

This method computes the central moments of the sample data, not the estimated central moments of the underlying population; to obtain the latter, use PopulationCentralMoment(IReadOnlyCollectionDouble, Int32).
