x: an atomic vector or "item.vector" object.
weights: an optional vector of weights.
...: further arguments, to be passed to future methods.

Value¶

A numeric vector of sample statistics, containing the range, the mean, the standard deviation, the skewness and the (excess) kurtosis.

Examples¶

x <- rnorm(100)
