R help - Dec 2007 - function centralm - does it exist

Hi,

 

James S. Clark - Statistical computation for environmental sciences in R -
mentions a function centralm (pg25) that I believe should be present in the
base package but I can't find it. It is supposed to calculate means,
variances, skewness, kurtosis of arrays. Does it exist in some other
package?

 

Thanks,

You clearly haven't read and followed the preceding pages of the
chapter ;-)

See page 12, about 1/3 the way down the page.
