Remarks

Distributions can be described by by sets of various moments. Raw moments and central moments are encountered most commonly, but cumulants (also called semi-invariants) and factorial moments are also seen. Given any set of one kind of moment for a distribution up to a given order (e.g. the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd central moments), the methods of this class return the values of other kinds of moments, up to the same order (e.g. the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd raw moments).
